i would think it should take a few hours to prep and paint, and another half hour to install.

oem bumper does not come painted. It will take at least 4-5 hours to get preps and painted.

Hmmm... if you're having it painted at a shop, then you have to be sure they make you the priority. Still, they'll be rushed and you don't want to rush a paint job. I'm sure it can be done though.

Note: I remember a while back I was just washing some car, and next thing all the paint on the bumper just started flying off because the car had been repaired before with a new bumper and the previous shop had not prepped it right. Gave me a good laugh.

I have 3 tiny scratches on my bumper. I got 5 estimates to get it repainted and they said that it would be about a 4 hour job and that I would have to leave my car there incase they needed to blend it in with the fender.

If they have to blend it it's because they are colorblind morons who can't match paint.

Find another shop.
