Rear Bumper Cover needs to be painted when replacing the part?

[Aemonn]

Does anyone know if the rear bumper covers on the ranger raptor need to be painted when replacing the part?

Long story short, there was a dent in the rear bumper cover that I somehow missed before proceeding with the purchase of my ranger raptor. Dealer pointed it out as soon as I was walking out, after signing the papers. They said they will take care of it, which is fine.

My issue is the truck has been with them for several days now and they're saying they're waiting for the body shop to paint match the part. This part looks to me to be a standard color across all colors. I'm concerned they're repairing the dent and re-painting the part rather than replacing with a brand new part.

From what I can tell, this is the part number: N1WZ-17906-RH

I asked them what part number they will be replacing it with, and they gave me this, which looks to be a cover for an f250 super duty: PC3Z-17757-EA

I'm going to ask them for the old part back and fully expect them to not be able to produce it and not sure how to best handle this situation.

Could be that you just got a generic answer as well. Depending who you talked to, they could of just assumed it was a painted part. Plastic parts they cant exactly fix without plastic welding or other obvious things which they wouldnt do anyway.

I would just wait and when it comes time for pickup, ask them to explain what they did if its not already documented.

N1WZ-17906-RH is a correct part number for a left hand side bumper bar. They come primed but not painted from ford.

They are currently around a 3-4 day order so it would make sense to me if it is taking them a few extra days to get it done.
