Default Painting a bumper - how much?

I've got 2 large(ish) scuffs on my front bumper, 1 on the flat section above the number plate and 1 to the side of the number plate. Both are about the size of a 20p. I've tried to find a good condition bumper to replace it, in 74F Sonic Blue but no joy.

Question is, can I get these 2 bits repaired/painted or will the whole bumper have to be painted?

Anyone had something similar and know approx costs? thanks

Have the bumper off and painted, best to do it properly first time.

Price wise, maybe PM 'prodriverules' as he's in the trade. I would say anywhere from £80/£120 would be about right depending how much work it needs. Also worth having it off yourself if you can, saves a few £££ in labour.

yeah getting it off isnt a problem and I do have a splitter to fit so I guess I should just fit that then get the whole thing blown over.

Pretty sure I paid around £100ish the last time I had a bumper done but that was a few years ago.

I had a mobile painter touch up a few scuffs on my old wrx, did a very good job and using a small airbrush meant very little of the panel had to be painted. Repair was durable as well. He was only based around stourbridge so if you are interested could sort out the details.
