Painting front bumper

I need to get my front bumper repsrayed somewhere on the Central Coast (preferably) but don't mind travelling to Sydney if its cheap.
Does anybody know of any good panel sprayers that are cheap? And how much if you had your bumper sprayed?

When I went for a service, Mazda damaged my bumper and went 50/50 in a respray.

These guys use the same guys who Audi use for re-spraying. They did a very nice job, but not 100% the same colour, but that's expected.
They are in the shire, and cost about $550, which I thought was pretty reasonable.

What was the price range you were thinking of?

EDIT: I also have heard Hume Smash Repairs do a good job, plus they're a forum sponsor ;)

I was hoping more of the $400 mark.. apparently my british racing green is pretty hard to match..

yea good point about the colour match, its practically impossible to match without blending, and to blend the front bumper would need to blend bonnet and both quarter panels.
