Apparently not. I've had several bumper covers replaced over the past 19 years of driving Lexus LS cars and the new bumper covers have always had to be painted. Matching the paint has never been a problem.
For minor damage, I've used the same mobile touch-up guy the Lexus dealer uses -- he mixes the paint and touches up our bumpers in our driveway ... he has a compressor on his truck for his paint gun. The guy does incredible work.

My guess is they figure my cars are nice, & that I chose to be away from everyone to avold door dings, etc., so they figure I would be careful with the doors, so it's safer next to me than the other idiots LOL ...

i am going to bring it to the lexus approved body shop. i heard good things.
i wish there was someone on here who reoved their new bumpers to put a body kit on. i would love to by a mint starfire rear bumper.
but im sure it will come out pretty nice. my car is being serviced and than i will go to the body shop.

i don think it will pop out. it was so deep that it actually cracked the platic. so the shape of the dent is weird.
i will get it fixed asap but want to pop it out until i get it replaced.

thanks, i ve seen those but they are very roughed up. i would need a perfect one. like one taken off a newer car for a body kit etc.
i went to my local lexus body shop and they have a white ls460l in there with rear bumper being replaced. very lucky for me i will see tomorrow how it came out.
i think i will use them if it looks great.

well, i went to see the ls460l painted at the local Lexus body shop, they did an AWFUL job. i ran out of there asap.
the rear backup sensors were placed total off centered. also the right side of the bumper where it comes to a point had several hairline cracks and the tip of it was freshly touched up with a non matching color. they did a good paint match but had too many little flaws which is unacceptable.
i asked a friend of mine that new a good body shop and took it there. just got it back and i am very happy. all was perfect but where the 2 plastic square plugs are for towing, the edges seemed a little rough. but not too noticeable. overall it was a great job and very nice.
will post pics.
