I am in need of a rear bumper which can be painted black. The only one I can find does not have Marauder on it. It is just plain. Any suggestions?

what's wrong with yours? I assume damaged, but many things can be fixed at good bumper repair shop/autobody. they are obsolete from ford. They do get parted out and show up on ebay, craigslist, or a member that has some stashed may offer one up. they are hard to ship. you may need to take a roadtrip to get one.

My car was damaged in the hail storm we had here last March. After all dent repair they are basically reprinting the whole car. The front bumper was crazed and had over paint from a previous repair - so it is better to start with a new one and prime and paint. My repair/paint shop is telling me they are having a hard time getting the paint to ahere to the rear bumper. I guess age and cracking of the original paint is the problem. So they would prefer to start with a new one there, also. After all the paint is about 16 years old now.

Maybe what I should be asking is how hard is it to prepare the old bumper to accept a new paint job. And is the a good shop in the UpState of South Carolina one would recommend. Currently, I am using Smith & Childs.
used bumpers are generally $500 and up, i would imagine stripping the paint off and reprime and seal and bumpers need a flex agent added to the paint to keep it flexible or they crack

especially if previous paint is cracked and hazed, it needs removed.

Realistically if your auto body shop doesn't know how to recondition a vinyl bumper cover(since just about every car has them) find a different shop because the one your using will do it wrong.
Check with the S. Carolina Mustang clubs and see who they like.
You won’t find reproduction rear bumpers, and the reproduction fronts are thin plastic and shatter easily. Strip and paint the originals.
I know of ONE brand new, in the box, never painted, never installed OEM rear bumper.

Tell your bodyshop to send the bumper out to a bumper repair place, they soda blast and prep and prime for less than 200
I also would find a new body shop because yours is filled with complete morons
Replacing a bumper cause the paint won't stick

I agree with the guys, find another shop...you might end up paying for it later. Not to long ago I bought a used OEM rear bumper cover. It had some damage but they patched it up, it can be done...
