I really want to color match my rear bumper black, but powdercoaters want $350 for my bumper alone. Is this normal? What have you guys paid to get it done?

rcantu's paid 125 for both front and rear... check his post to see the results...
do they handle commercial accounts mainly? if so, i think that is their normal "lot" charge so that's why it is so high. i paid that much for my front chrome bumper and a mesh grill; didn't have a hookup. i could have gone somewhere farther from my house that powdercoated by the piece (~$200 for bumper), but i paid more to save on time and gas.
what model do you have? since it's a rear bumper, maybe paint will work for a XE bumper. if you have a SE or LE with chrome, maybe get the front AND rear done for that price.
I had the body shop I frequent match the rear bumper to the front...cost around a 100 bucks.

You guys have any pics of the powder coated bumpers? Back mainly is what I'm interested in. I spilled some caustic on mine and it left some streaks before I could nuetralize it

yeah i was so happy for that deal. they don't do auto parts. they just powdercoat what you bring. I paid $80 for my bugguard to be pc'd somewhere else but they do stuff for Chip Foose and others.
anyhow here's pics.. not a perfect color match but not bad.
