Question about Rav4 bumper plastic

I posted over in the Toyota Rav4 section but got no response there.

Wife hit a deer with her 08 Rav4 and I need to get the front bumper plastic cover and both grills to do the repair.

I know some of these plastic parts such as the spare tire carrier can be bought already painted to the color of the vehicle, Barcelona Red Metal FC 10.

Can I also get the bumper cover already painted in this color and ready to install?

Thanks

Gary

Re: Question about Rav4 bumper plastic

Hey Gary;

Unfortunetly, they do not sell bumper covers already painted. I am assuming it is the color of the car, right? If it is grey, black or something like that they may.

They best thing to do is to call your local Toyota dealer and aks them. They may paint it for you and let you install it. That is, if they can mix a good color match. However, bumper covers usually do not match perfect from the factory.

Re: Question about Rav4 bumper plastic

Thanks LAB.

We had to replace the spare tire cover and it came already painted the Barcelona red to match our car. I was hoping the bumper covers also came already painted so I could DIY this simple job. I don't have the ability to do the painting here so off to the body shop it must go.
