Dont mean to toot my own horn here, but I graduated a full time auto body course at Centennial College last year so I know enough about the subject to tell you that if its full prep, body work and paint, $250 is going to be one crap-tacular repair that would be lucky to last 2 years. Materials used will be second-rate and most likely be some of the older stuff that body shops still have lying around that their trying to get rid of. Paint used will be single stage (so no clear coat) type of enamel if they do the entire bumper, or they will match factory paint but use a blow-in technique which "melts" the new clear around the area making it 'look' factory. Only thing is that the edge will eventually peel back onto itself exposing everything then it will fall right off lol. But seeing as its a lease and your not going to keep it, wait untill the last possible minute to get this done, so when u give it back it will look awesome to the dealer :P
