Rear Bumper Damage

A&Q about 350Z
Q:

Hey all,
The rear bumper of my car was destroyed in a parking lot impact "i was not driving at the time," as someone backed into the car and took off.
The damage is 100% contained to the rear bumper. Has anyone had their rear bumper relaced, and if so did you have any issues with overspray etc?
Thanks much,
Eric

damn, what a bummer!! it still amazes me how many people can take off w/o letting the owner the vehicle that was hit personal info. it happened to me about a month ago, but was a minor front bumper dent. hope you find a cheap and good solution to your rear bumper.
A:

LAB make sure to have the bumper painted off the car when the replace it. No need to blend the clear to make a perfect match. If the bumper is painted off the car, should be no reason for overspray.

THAT'S SUCKS!!! This happened to me too... it was just too expensive to get it fix... the dealer wanted $1400 in Philly.... total... I was like FORGET IT... a new 350z body kit does even cost this much...
I didn't have that much damage... with some dents and marks... but it really mess up the look of the car... oh well..
GOOD LUCK
