A brand-new unpainted bumper typically takes about one day for painting, drying (either baked or air-dried), and subsequent polishing, with a maximum of two days for slower processes. For used bumpers, the duration depends on the area to be painted: small areas may take half a day, while larger areas require additional time for color matching with the vehicle's existing paint to avoid noticeable discrepancies. Non-factory paint mixtures may result in a dull appearance on the vehicle while the new bumper appears shiny. Below is relevant information: Generally, the entire surface needs to be sanded down.

For instance, under similar conditions, a car with repainted areas may be cheaper than one with minor unscratched scratches. Second, repainted surfaces tend to age faster than factory paint because repair paint is not as durable as the original. Even if color differences are not immediately visible, they may appear over time, and in severe cases, the paint may even peel off.
