Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but a while back I messed up the front of my 2009 versa HB.

The places I took it all wanted over a grand to do the repairs so I decided to try to do it myself. I removed the damaged parts and managed to find the part numbers for each online. looking up all the parts and costs at nissanpartszone brings the total to like 500 bucks.

My question is... how do you get a bumper painted? Or even better, where can I order it already painted online? It looks like most places online sell the bumper with "NO PAINT".

And beyond that, is nissanpartszone a good vendor, or am I getting ripped off ordering there?

Any help anyone on the forum can give me would be most appreciated.

Thanks!
Sean

there are enough versas around, you could probably find one in correct colour at wrecking yard. may even ship it reasonably if shipping cost is related to weight rather than size.

Those parts seem reasonably priced. You probably could get the headlight cheaper. Try ebay. Then bring your bumper cover to a body shop and have them paint it to your color. If one body shop sounds like a high price check around to see what the average is to paint it. Then install the parts yourself. It's not all that hard. Your saving money on the labor when you order the parts and install them yourself. The key to getting parts cheap is research. Research, research, research there out there if you look hard enough.
