NOPE, the risk of damage during shipping is too high. Your best chance is to find a used bumper on eBay that has the same color as yours and it's in decent shape. The only painted parts you can find are smaller ones like spoilers, side skirts, etc.

I was hoping. I knew the skirts and spoilers you could. Mine is fixable but was hoping for about the same price to pick up one ready to slap on.

go to a local body shop, I got a panel repainted locally for about $130 a couple years ago. Just took the panel off dropped the part off and they panted it for me. They were even kind enough to R&R the panel for me for that prce. As for an entire bumper though you will do better cost wise to remove it and take it to them to paint. Just when you go to pck it up take soft blankets with you to wrap it up during transporting. Also painters tapeis your friend when puttng the bumper back on. (so you dont scratch the new paint)

Better to not get a prepainted bumper. The color match will be horrible. You need a local shop to do it that can see your paint.
