Does anyone know if the rear bumper is one of the following:

Black dyed plastic
Black painted (one coat) plastic
Plastic that has had the same paint process as the rest of the car, i.e. a clear coat.

Thanks!

99% sure it's the third option there

Yea it is the 3rd option (called acura customer service).

This means we can polish it! Yay good bye scratches and swirls...

I'm pretty sure they are painted in separate areas and transported over to the assembly line, but they do use the same painting processes.

They are painted in a seprate building and thats why paint never matches car perfect with the same paint thats on the car.

its more of the fact that bumpers are plastic and the rest of the car is metal, paint adheres to surfaces differently
