2004 Honda Civic LX Bumper

ok guys, i got in a minor road infraction on the interstate, and basically my bumper is pretty mangled... but thats the only real damage to the car, my local Honda Dealer quoted me a 1,200 dollar repair fee... and needless to say i told them to go shove it.
I just ordered an OEM bumper from Majestic Honda, my problem is finding someone to just paint it, and not put it on because i want to spend the least amount possible. any suggestions? i called some local collision centers and they all said that they can't just paint it. would mayco do just a bumper with factory honda paint? the color is midnight black, or if anyone knows of a place that i can order the OEM bumper pre-painted. thanks a lot guys!

ok, the bumper came in today. and i called the local maaco and they said that they will paint it to the factory paint. Im just hoping that it will match close enough that you won't notice, because i would like to resell this car sometime. but yea, i don't know on a price yet, im gonna bring it up there this weekend.
Problem number two is i didn't realize that the steel reinforcement beam is mangled a little bit, so ill most likely buy an angle grinder and tweak it a little bit so the new bumper fits over. Hopefully total cost for this project will be sub $300 dollars. and ill be sure to get a full DIY on how to take off/put on the new one for those in similar situations as me. thanks guys

Just make sure that the paint matches, look at it un full daylight. I have heard alot of maaco horror stories, but i have had nothing but excellent work done by them...
