Hey Lemmy. I have a 2010 Toyota Camry with 150k miles. The front bumper’s bottom segment (maybe 2 inches) has a crack and the grill is out of place. Also, there’s a couple small scratches in the paint elsewhere. Would it be worth it to have the bumper repaired as well as the paint touched up before selling it? I was given a quote of $1500 for the bumper repair but haven’t inquired about the scratches. Thanks in advance!
If you’re doing bondo, you’ll have to paint the bumper and blend it with the fenders which is way beyond your average DIY
I’ve spot patched dozens of cracked bumpers before without needing to do that. Maybe if you’re repairing a car for personal use or show, you’re right, but for prettying it up for market a spot of bondo and good spray job should be good enough. You can literally get rattle cans of Toyota OEM paint from Autozone
