Do The Bumpers Come Painted From Nissan?

[-= SKiZO =-]

Hey guys,

Happy New Year.

Quick one, when you order a bumper from Nissan Japan, can you get them already painted in your correct colour from the factory?

I'm 92.5% sure the answer is yes, but just wanted to double-check as a dealer is giving me the "not my fault I ordered the wrong part number".

Cheers.

to my knowledge - no. they are shot when you get them.

Thanks Chris,

You mean you think it comes in primer? Well the rear bumper I just got is actually painted pearl white.

When I bought my front aero bar a few years ago, in Fast there is a different part code for each colour. I ordered the part number for my car and the bar came painted from the factory correctly.

This time I left it to the dealer after a recent accident and they've ordered the part number for a white bar. Now they are telling me that is the only colour they can get, even though they didn't order the correct part number.

So before I go any further, I just want to double-check with a few others that have had accidents.

Last time when I get accident, I order a new front bumper and passanger side front quad fender. The bumper came with factory silver paint. the fender does not. No idea why. I assume the bumper is plastic so Nissan think their facotry can do painting job better?

Ok thanks Frank,

Just checked and what your saying sounds right, as there is not a separate colour code for each part for the metal fender in fast. Wheras with the bumpers there is.

Thanks for replying.

When I was looking for the plastic that surrounds the indicator/fog light, the spares department also asked for my paint code so they could order & paint it to match.

So failing all else it seems they should be able to paint it in original colour.

No problem mate.

Glad I can help.

BTW, 1 weeks after my repair job completed, My smash repair shop call me said: the demaged bumper I replaced ( Not the bad damaged, still repairable) has been stolen from shop's rubbish bin. The shop owner was very surprised that how popular this bumper is, someone even would to steal a damaged one. LOL
