to get my bumpers repainted? I need a budget friendly fix and am not confident trying to touch them up myself.

Ah my bad, didnt read under the avatar haha.

Hm, if it was black id probably give it a shot myself, just sand it all down with like ~100 then something way smoother like 300...I might be totally off on the 2 grit ammounts, but you get the picture, then go for some spray paint...

But if its like white or any other color, it would be real easy to notice if the bumper was darker or lighter, the only place really around here is Maaco or however you spell it, from theyre website, it looks like theyre pretty expensive though lol
 






If you do all of the prep work, Maaco won't be bad. I would just head to a body shop and get a price- they're eager for work right now like everyone else- and as an '05 I'm sure your Ex deserves a little bit better paintjob than Maaco would do to it- the body shop will be a little more careful...
