I'm not making the statement that it's bad to paint the bumpers but merely repeating what they told me. I have no background in auto paintwork.

Something just sounds fishy. I can see a Maaco guy saying, yeah no problem we can do it for $xxx.xx But when a representative of a competent body shop turns away business...

Repeat what was said to you to the managers / owners of the shops you talked to, then hand them a printed copy of the clear, concise statement sinned posted above and see which one he/she agrees with.

The only thing I would do differently is to DA the surface smooth first, then use a chemical wipe to etch/clean the plastic surface.
