Even if it came out looking good it would eventually start cracking. No matter what anyone says, you can't repaint a bumper,

Anyway NewTakeoff is your best bet, they're factory painted and are usually in like new condition..

Not true. Even a mediocre repair shop SHOULD be able to do simple bumper repairs. The paint should not crack if the bumper cover is prepped properly and flex additive is added with the paint and clear. I have seen countless bumper covers repaired and last. I have also seen many shops butcher what should be a simple repair as well. YMMV.

get the new take off. factory paint (i.e., new take off) is worlds better, more durable, and a better match to the paint already on your car, than ANYTHING a body shop can do.

ya, the majority of the paint on the new take off bumpers is good but the areas that meet the fender are usually always messed up. I ordered one and all the paint on those corners were gone
