I am thinking about getting part of my bumper repainted, i am busy with school most days and haven't had a chance to take it to a shop to get a quote. Have any of you ever painted part (about 1/2) of the front bumper? If so how much did it cost.

I tried to do it myself, but I can't find a good matching paint for my Oxford White . Does anyone know any good sites that I can order some good quality paint off?

Might want to consider changing bumper since you will be painting it anyway.

You should be able to have a front or rear bumper painted for around $200 - $250

Yes, you can get only half of the bumper painted and blended in. In your case (oxford white), you might as well get the whole thing painted. The price difference isn't enough to justify blending it in. Keep in mind...the cheaper the price, the cheaper the quality (both paint materials and labor). I'd take the bumper off the car and have it refinished (very easy).
