Should I go for factory painted rear bumper?

[bruno787]

My car needs a new rear bumper

I can both order a primered bumper or a factory painted one, of course the latter costs almost double, and takes 5 weeks, but I would presume it would be a nearer / safer color match of my existing bumper than to have my new bumper painted by a repair shop?

I'm confused, some say factory painted might not Match at all and that it's better to paint I locally......

Hi,

I would order a primered one and get it painted at a good Paintshop. Why, well because the Factory bumpers never match. Not even when they come brand new from the factory. So it can look better when you get it painted by a paintshop.
