    Some jerk smashed my front bumper/left fender/left headlight and drove off the other day so now I'm stuck trying to fix all these parts. 2014 4runner SR5 in Magnetic Gray Metallic. I've been calling/checking all the junkyards and haven't found any replacements so thinking to go with an OEM bumper like this: https://parts.toyotaofcoloradosprings.com/oem-parts/toyota-bumper-cover-front-5211935920

    How do y'all get your bumpers painted to match since most of these appear to come unprimed/primed but not painted? I'm in Austin if anyone has a rec on a good paint shop. I really appreciate any help.

    Thanks

    How perfect do you want it? It's a 2014 and if you are looking at junkyards, I'm guessing your 4R isn't a trailer queen. $200 for the bumper and $100 for a few cans of color-matched SprayMax and it might fit your needs. You can get a very good finish if you take your time and do good prep work. A body shop is going to be significantly more, but of course it will be a better finish.

    Most body shops will blend the adjacent panels, to blend in the new paint.
