 Does anyone know where I can get the appropriate paint for the bumpers? >>

John,

If you have paint on the bumpers, they have been "painted" by the PO, as that 
is definitely not a "stock" bumper...unless you mean the plastic impact 
strips(black)..they can be painted...I have used a satin black paint before 
with good results... the bumpers are a heavy duty aluminum and wear like 
iron...they are not painted.

Good luck,
