Paint front bumper or not?

My car has to go in to have the front washer jet replaced, all getting done under warranty so not a problem.
I was just thinking as the bumper has to come off for them to do this, whether to get it painted whilst off.
The bumper is sapphire black and has some stone chips and some scuffing to the bottom edge.
They have quoted £220 for full respray.
What do you guys think, its it worth it our not?
I'm also a little worried with colour matching, although the painter said it would match perfectly. :|
 
It's entirely up to you on the trade off of how bad it is Vs the cost of doing it now, or later. Takes only 3 minutes to remove a bumper so no big deal to have it done at the same time.

I'd say almost all bumper on modern cars are resprayed at sometime in their lives and the Zed more so - nothing to worry about.
 
If you keep looking at the chips on the bumper every time you see the car from the front or wash it, I would say go for it.

My eyes go automatically were things are not perfect, no matter how small they are! Sad... I know! :roll:

I got mine done for £130, fabulous job too, like brand new, £220 is too much, shop around a few places but check out reputation first.
 
Where did you get it done got £130?
I've had about 5 quotes now, and 220 was the cheapest, the rest range from 300 to 350
Did they take your bumper off for that money?
I'm also in the south of England.
Thanks
 
Wow -£130 is mates rates, very very cheap. I'm just getting mine done (stripped, primer, colour coat and top coat) and cheapest I could find was £275
