No u take that to your local shop, they have to match the paint grade, because this is a large item no moron out there is going to paint it before using a colorometer on your original paint,to ensure the front bumper cover matches the paint on the car.

Why cant you just buy the bumper online for cheap and take it to a local shop to have it painted there? Did u hit and run somebody and dont want anyone to find out?? LOL JOKES.

Buy it primed and get it painted at a local shop.

Peace,

Hmm maybe a detailer would be cheaper. Some rubbing compound should take out the bug residue.

If you're buying it prepainted it likely won't match the rest of the vehicle. Your paint colour will fade with time. No mater how much you wax it or keep it indoors.

NO you need it painted by a shop, it wont match right if you dont. And why cant you have it repainted? I just got mine done for $198.00 by one of the best body shops in the area...its a two hour job. I dont understand why you dont get it painted??????? anyway...this is the cheapest place for oem nissan parts I have found https://www.1stnissanparts.com/oe_parts_cat.html

Both the front and rear bumper covers are $165.00 per. They are OEM and come str8 from nissan $833.00???WTF NEVER EVER take your car to have bidy work at the dealer unless your insurance requests it.

I'd say if its not damaged then get it repainted locally, much cheaper.

If it is damaged, get it primed online or used on ebay. This week I've seen two for rear CHEAP!

How much damage are we taling about anyway??

Try Bug&Tar Remover by TurtleWax. It's the cheapest and probably the best solution.

you could get a brand new one for a couple bucks more than this guy is asking, plus when painting a diff color you have to risk problem with paint adhesion
