I got rear-ended last night . The Bumper will need to be replace. Anyone knows if Infiniti can order a "factory pre-painted" bumper?

 

No. Well atleast the infiniti dealer I bought my car from said they can't.

 

Thanks for the quick reply. This is really too bad - I hate the idea of having it "Shop-Painted".

 

Wouldn't really matter as the factory colour wouldn't exactly match your car anyway at this point. Even the cars painted with different batches of the same colour of paint are liable to be very slightly different shades.

 

Unless your car is IP, you won't really notice.

 

I would take it to a reputable body shop. Have them order an OEM bumer (they are easy enough to come by), color match the paint on your car, get a matching paint, paint the bumper, and then stick on.

Done right, it'll be just like nothing ever happened.

 

put a note in the wtb forum or
check eBay, many people selling oem bumpers

 

Thanks much for the good advises.

The color match for my black Coupe was not my primary concern. The issue I was trying to address was that bodyshop paint is usually not as resistant as factory paint. However, considering that the Infiniti paint is somewhat weak to start with, it may not be a significant problem. As for buying an OEM bumper on eBay, it would most probably have been scratched during the removal, storage, or shipping. Therefore, I wouldn't gain much. I don't car about the price since I checked with my insurance company and I'm not at fault; therefore, no deductible and no record of the accident on my file. Thanks again...

 

you got questions, yofool has answers.

No, dealers don't paint their piece parts themselves. They usually send them out to a outside vendor.
