Default painting front bumper

Hey guys, I recently damaged my front bumper and just bought a used one. I bought it cheap, but it has many swirl marks, light scratches and rock chips. I was thinking about taking it to the dealer to repaint, but it will cost extra bacause the color is PPW. Just wondering could buffering the bumper get rid of the marks? Also if it does, does anybody know place in Houston?

Same with me, PPW. Took it to Poutous near Rice Village. Body man was knowledgeable. See what he says. I had the whole bumper replaced. They did a good job, I thought. Expensive to replace.

Hey, thanks for the reply. I've just called Poutous and they told me tha they don't do paint jobs. Is there more than one poutous in Houston? The shop I called was in Mills Ln. Oh yeah, how much did you pay for the paint job?

This Poutous is 77005. I'm sure they're in the Yellow Pages. Call 'em. I didn't pay for 'just' a paint job. I bought a new bumper plus had the right rocker panel repaired and painted (tire debris on Beltway 8 @ 80mph). Their body shop had to do it twice at the paint manufacturer's expense. They got it right the second time before I ever saw it. Good people.
