Default Terrible orange peel....

I just had a new bumper put on my car and the paint looks horrible. I may have to get the entire bumper resprayed brilliant black to match the shine on the rest of the car. Anybody have any idea how much it'll cost me? Thanks.

Default Without seeing the car, it's tough to give you advice...

but realize that if a ripply clearcoat is causing the orange peel effect, you *may* be able to wet sand the clearcoat, then polish to remove the orange peel. That should cost around $150. If you end up visiting a body shop, ask them about this.
