I don't think you'll find one prepainted from anywhere you should be ordering from. If you install a prepainted skin without blending, it will never be a great color match.
Bring it to a shop.

I don't know of anyone who has and even if it was possible, I wouldn't suggest it.
White is a super tough color to match.
You are talking about how much you care for you car's finish and look.... do the job right!

i would agree, i just figured that infiniti would sell a factory painted part,

they don't paint the car all at once, the bumpers, doors, side skirts, hood, trunk and uni body all go through separate paint bays at the factory. so the bumper you have could have gotten painted days before or after your car door with a different batch of paint.

the factory is all automated, so all the parts match, get a dealer on the horn, give them ur vin and i bet they can and will order you a painted/clear coated bumper that you can just bolt on.

no worries, i did this as well last winter

If there is no deformation of the plastic just have it re-sprayed.

I hade them sand down the damaged area, prime, and repaint it. Plus I asked them to re-clear the whole bumper to avoid flaking/peeling

Looks like new and only set me back $250 cash

You're looking at $350-400 to R&I and refinish the bumper assuming no damage which needs to be repaired, just a refinish. If there is damage, scratches, gouging, etc, then it changes. Also, there is stuff that is important behind that urethane that may have been damaged.

A pic would help give you a better idea.

ETA: It's not an order by color part, any OE bumper you get is going to be plain black plastic. The replacement part arm of the company isn't shared with the regular production line, they don't just have extras lying around painted to sell.

check ebay. i was going to get a new bumper cover for my g. found some on ebay it was 500-600 dollars prepainted to OEM color specs and shipped to your door. And for install.. take it to a shop. no more than 50 bucks to have them slap on a new bumper
