Advice needed on new front bumper!

I hit a big piece of metal on the highway, my front bumper cracked on the bottom. I cant find a painted bumper for sale anywhere. Does anyone know a place?? Or i cant find a place with a good price rather. Anyone have any thoughts or advice? I was thinking of buying an ebay bumper primed, less than $100 in some places and getting it painted. i have an 09 journey sedan

I have a cracked front bumper as well and have just been living with it until I can get a good answer to your question above. I have been asking around and the most common answer is OEM, so I might just end up going that route.

pick up an aftermarket bumper or one at a junk yard and have a shop spray it.

if you buy one already painted, depending on the color, the color wont match and will look weird.

where is it cracked? would a lip work? i just picked this up https://m.ebay.com/itm/For-10-13-G37-Sedan-Unpainted-OE-Style-PU-Front-Bumper-Lip-Body-Kit-/221689580286?txnId=2043257574012 and it fits like a glove.
have not figured out what im going to do with it yet. my cars white and im going with white/black theme so was thinking of painting it myself. But if you got it professionaly color matched it would cover up and imperfrctions on the lower bumpet.

Yup. Best to buy a bumper and take it along w your car to a body shop. They will tint the paint to match the rest of your car. Too many variables. You will def be able to tell if you just buy another already painted.
