Default New paint? or new bumper?

Hey guys, just wanted some opinions about something. Im wanting to either get my stock bumper repainted due to tons of rock chips, scrapes from the previous owner and etc...OR buy a new bumper and get it painted. I like my current stocker style if i get a new one it will be a Nismo v2 or Origin labs. If i get mine painted i was gonna get a lip kit for it . Also does anyone know how much it usually cost to get a bumper repainted? i know it varies from shop to shop but just a general idea ,Thanks

A shop I went to quoted $810. There is a whole lot of labor involved with getting a bumper refinished that is why it is most likely cheaper just to buy a new one.

Can you buy new ones already painted? Or is it just cheaper since they dont have to sand and prime the new one down?

If you order a new one no it will not be painted. You may be able to find a used but like new one in the classifieds section that is already painted and you woud save big bucks.
