zeitgeist57 Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 Wifey picked up another small accident that involves the left rear bumper corner on our 2012 Odyssey. No damage to the body or tailgate, but a solid "Camry-bump" that cracked the plastic. We've been to Kevin's a few times in the last 18 months ...given this is a plastic bumper and impact support, I'm looking to do this myself. Used bumpers from Car-Part would have to still be prepped/painted, and they are still $300-400+. Has anyone either bought a direct-fit (non-OEM) painted body panel from eBay? I'd be wary of non-OEM doors, fenders as your having to match up a lot of body lines. But for a bumper where it's hanging off the back and likely going to be damaged again, I'm inclined to give it a try. https://www.ebay.com/itm/For-2011-2016-HONDA-ODYSSEY-Rear-Bumper-w-Sensor-Holes-COVER-Painted/264695313620?fits=Year%3A2012%7CModel%3AOdyssey%7CMake%3AHonda&var=564502647789&hash=item3da111f4d4:m:menVHiSCMb6SZraM1eFsWqA Interested in personal experiences.

gillbot Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 Depending on batches, the paint may be a match or close enough, depends on how particular you are. My FIL got quite a few painted OEM and non-OEM parts from amazon and ebay with varying degrees of success on the match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted May 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 After a bit of YouTubing, it seems like MBI Auto is a popular vendor on eBay and Amazon of painted bumpers. Yes, it looks like hit-or-miss on the folded, painted bumpers. https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Painted-To-Match-Rear-Bumper-Replacement-for-2011-2017-Honda-Odyssey-Touring/333506825042?var=542604870690&hash=item4da68e4b52:m:mn0_Uq_wxmWxB6TmPgmbzyQ I checked Amazon as well...no folded bumpers, so I'll probably go with the "Premium" bumper option where it's shipped regularly.

Jay Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 The girlfriend sideswiped someone in her civic and I got one of those pre-painted fenders off of one of those companies. Her car is a dark gray. The paint is pretty close but not exact. I notice a difference but she says she cant see a difference.

iwashmycar Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 Seems like Kevin would be cheaper and have better results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robochan Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 I got some primered panels on eBay for what seemed to good to be true. Got some duplicolor OEM color and clear in cans. Results were great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted May 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 Seems like Kevin would be cheaper and have better results I'll still get a quote from Kevin. Compare DIY to his rate. I got some primered panels on eBay for what seemed to good to be true. Got some duplicolor OEM color and clear in cans. Results were great. Also something I noted. https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Primered-Rear-Bumper-Replacement-for-2011-2017-Honda-Odyssey-11-17-W-Park/282652082065?fits=Year%3A2012%7CModel%3AOdyssey%7CSubmodel%3ATouring%7CMake%3AHonda&hash=item41cf607f91:g:pZMAAOSwnB1ZuWiS I wouldn't mind having pre-painted to eliminate the risk I run of messing up the paint and/or clear. It's a big butt. Thanks and keep the reviews coming! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forrest Gump 9 Posted May 21, 2020 Report Share Posted May 21, 2020 I bought a fender on the Tacoma. The fit and finish were a solid 6, but it’s a pile of rust so I don’t care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trouble Maker Posted May 21, 2020 Report Share Posted May 21, 2020 Zip tie stitching seems like the cheapest way to fix it, and drift minivan yo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
