Default Painted Front Bumpers

I have seen a lot of trucks with the metal part of the front bumper color matched. Anyone know if you can order these from the factory? I really don't want to buy a work truck front bumper and get it painted to match my truck. Any ideas?

there is a paint grade metal panel to order and paint , i have the part # somewhere if you want it
don't think you can get a factory painted piece.
I had one painted and installed by a body shop on my 08 and the guy that did it said the installation was a big pita.

I would powdercoat it. Had front and rear done for $120. You just have to take them apart. Powdercoating is alot more durable than paint.

If you take it to the right painter, they can prep it really good and paint it and not have any problems. but powdercoating is a good way to get it done too.

I bought the paint to match one cause I didn't want to worry about paint issues after I got it back together.

JB- I'm looking at getting the paintable front air deflector like you have, and the part number says "air deflector w/lettering". Any clue what this lettering is?
