betrivent: I took a look at craigs but no luck so far, thanks for suggesting it tho.

tk: I had the same concerns, talking to a mechanic today, I was told that maaco is notorious for being terrible paint. Now I am having second thoughts about my plan.

41: thanks for the tip, I never even considered it, will look into that. Where was your crack? Mine is across the top of the bumper where the bumper protector would go over.

My crack was on the left side of the bumper running from about the tail light and almost cracking the bumper in half to the bottom. As I said did a great job and it doesnt even look like it was repaired. Good luck

Update:
Took the car to the shop, remelting is not an option according two body shops.
No luck with craigslist and junkyard.

I found an ebay shop that sells painted bumper, here is a link to the sedan bumper. Has anyone ever dealt with online shops that paints bumpers?
