Hi 6speed
Wondering how much do you guys think it will cost to fix this bumper to make it look like new again? Has lots of chips and cracks in the paint. Thanks in advance

$650-800 depending on if the fiberglass is just chipped vs cracked all the way through.

Would you take the whole bumper off before hand or just have them do it all ? As XLR suggests I would also do the headlights too. We offer a kit that includes everything needed. For more information Click Here.

Also have to account for labor to remove/reinstall bumper.

If you handed them the bumper, a decent shop will probably charge $500-700 to handle prep, repray, etc.

Another $100-200 for reinstall if it doesn't require anything fancy.

I'd guess $600-900 depending, 4080's estimate is roughly the same as mine.

Arctic silver?

My info is the adjacent panels might need to be resprayed to blend the paint so there's no noticeable difference between the resprayed bumper and the adjacent body panels.

Thus the cost to do the job "right" could be considerable.

Best advice I can offer is take the car to a Porsche Approved Collision Center and get an estimate. Someone there can advise you on the need (or lack of need) to spray adjacent panels.
