It's because if you repaint the bumper, they often have to repaint parts surrounding it as well to match the new paint, like the trunk, rear fender, etc. And a proper shop would have to disassmble or mask parts really well in order to paint those adjacent panels.

Now this might be an exception, cause plastic bumpers generally don't have perfect match with metal panels anyway, so the match painting to the adjacent panels might not be required.

But you know autobody shops will always try to milk as much money as they can, so yeah, I do think $800 for that is rather high.
