Paint rubbed off

[hondarider]

The front of our new grand cherokee rubbed on the garage door while pulling in and took a small portion of the paint off the corner of the bumper.

Here is a picture. What suggestions would you guys have on fixing this?

Unfortunately its one of those 'you can't fix what isn't there' scenarios. It will require paint be put down on that area to get it repaired.

Ya thats what I figured. How much would you think it would cost for a re-spray on that area?

[Team Adam's]

Depends on the shop and the paint color. Sometimes a good shop can blend an area like that without even pulling the panel off, but sometimes it will require the panel to be pulled off and fully resprayed.

 

If its the latter plan on about $400-600 for quality work based on my experience.

Your best bet IMO would be to take it to a body shop that you trust. You may be surprised in a good way as to price to repair. I had a Tundra that needed some paint work behind the rear bumper and involved removing the rear bumper and was only 250 bucks. And that was at the dealership body shop. Paint work itself is relatively cheap when you factor in other issues like new parts, and labor to remove and reapply those parts. That is where it adds up.

 

Like I mentioned before, take it someplace that you trust they will do a good job. Otherwise if somebody screws it up it may cost you more in the long run to repair to your liking.
