Well i was gonna buy a brand new bumper cover that has to get sanded and primed then painted, thats gonna be a lot of money. I found this used one thats painted black for much cheaper, would it be ok just to get it painted red to save money or should i just get the new one and pay more???????please help, thanks

Depends on how good the used one is. If it's not warped, cracked, cut, etc... then I would say go for it. They are going to have to sand it down, prime it, and repaint it anyways. The only money your going to be saving is the price of the bumper itself.
