A local parts store is closing and they said I could have it (the bumper) for cheap, I have not seen it yet but I told them I would take it.

Cool. Sounds like it might be an option. My brother and I just purchased a bunch of stuff from a Hummer dealer because after sitting on the building for 2 years after closing it they had a ton of parts and Hummer stuff that we both wanted. Sometimes it works out to be a great deal.

I will get the bumper this weekend and take pictures then post them here for you.

A good body shop will match the paint without issue. Paint matching today is light-years ahead of where it was 20 years ago. Personally, I would only use a new bumper cover. Otherwise you'll have layers of paint and ..... Since it will likely be much more than your deductible, you might as well get it new and done right.

And here they are...

This bumper is in real good shape, it was in a Porsche parts store that is going out of business so I got a good deal. New paint (dark blue), has not been on the road since painted. No road rash on it at all. Make me an offer I can't refuse (if you need it).
