I got a really good deal on a stock bumper, all primered and ready to paint. I need to know if I can get the stock paint color from the dealership or anywhere else and how much that would cost me. Or, can I use spray paint? I know its not a paint gun, but its only the front bumper.

yes you can buy the paint but you really shouldn't be spraying it yourself. pay someone with the appropriate equipment/experience to do it for you or really its not even worth doing. unless of course you want to learn in which case trial and error, trial and error
The front bumper is pretty important. What I mean is the front bumper will see the most sand, debris, ect. If it is not painted and clear coated well it will chip, scratch, and get messed up pretty easily. Best to have a shop do it. Probably only cost about $100

yeah, don't spray paint it, it'll peel and crack and all that from sun and heat, i know someone who brought one side skirt to a paint shop primered and ready to paint and that cost 100 bucks.. so maybe you're lookin at a little more? depending on how qualified the people you bring it to are.
well, im doing my own body kit but im also learning to all of this stuff as well because i work at a body shop, and needless to say im gonna do my own with supervision... i think its pretty cool tho, great learning experience.
the 1/4 doesnt have patience for a ST.... so we make them ST-T's so atleast we'll sound good going slow.
Cost can depend on many things. Of course the dealer does a good job, but may be costly. I would go around and get estimates and see who has good pricing and does a good job on paint. Some place paint a bumper for $600 some paint it for $100 or less, such as here in southern california.
