Reason Im asking is because I have all kinds of rock chips/scratches/blemishes from Tahoe trips.
Could these be "buffed out" ? The cost and color matching issues are turning me off to having the bumper repainted.

yea, i think at my shop it's like 500...... but you can call for an estimate (510)-557-4280.
Silver isn't that hard to match if your blending the new paint into existing paint.... but if your doing a complete repaint of a bumper it can be a little tough. HOWEVER.... bumper color on all cars is always gonna be a tad off to the rest of the car NEW FROM THE FACTORY.... so that varience can be taken into account and that makes it that much easier to match the color.
So yea, give us a ring we can get ya an estimate. You can also check out the website... http://www.cleangreencollision.com/

Silver is very hard to match. The paint shop dies the best they can and I am ok with it. It is close enough. $500 for a front bumper, OUCH! seriously that is so expensive, the work would have to be perfect. I got my rear bumper and front w/splitters last time plus painting the custom grill for $400 about 6 months ago. Right after it was painted someone hit the front and cracked the pait pretty bad. I have hairline cracks (about 6-7) that run about 1.5ft on the front top of my bumper. Time to shell out another $200.

It looks good, sorry but I cant touch prices like that. Can you also add some 3/4 shot pics of your front and rear bumper up a little closer. I want to see the detail of the paint...

Make sure you wait 30 days after the paint is applied before you put on the clear bra. It takes 30 days for the paint to cure 100%. Don't wax it before that time too.
