Rear Bumper Damage - Repair/replace

[statue]

Hello,

I got some damage to the back of my car. I've attached some images.

I just want to know what kind of prices im looking at to repair it or otherwise whats the price range for replacement?

I got some people telling me I need a panel beater? How much is that? I have no idea.

Tell me what you guys think.. how much money do i have to say goodbye to?

Panelbeater can easily repair that with a bit of heat it'd pop right out. Unfortunately you will also need to pay to repaint, prob cost you $400-500 all up.

I had that damage, plus some on rear quarter, cost $500 to fix up.

The rear bar is plastic you can just heat it up with a hair dryer and pop it right out! my mate did it with his rear bar, then take it down to a panel shop respray should cost you around $400 or less if your supplying the paint.

Step

1) Remove the bar, because if you need the panelbeater, there'll be less labour cost

2) Check the metal Reo-bar behind to see if it's damaged at the edge

3) Heat up the damaged area on both sides and its surrounds, because the molecules in the plastic are aligned and form a 'memory' to go back the way they were before

4) If that doesn't work completely, the panelbeater has a hot bath to immerse that section

5) Repaint the bar with it already removed will cost $325-450 as stated above. Repainting the front bar (already removed) might cost just a bit more while you're at it.
