Painting a bumper on the car is a quick sign of a hack shop. You cannot properly prep/paint a bumper and also remove all the mouldings/lights/etc while on car. Lots of shops do work that way and you'll see in the future(maybe tomorrow.......maybe two years from now) when the bumpers paint starts peeling at the edges.
