I'm planning on painting the front bumper until I can pick up an ARB replacement. Does anyone have any idea on what paint/grey color I should use that would resemble the original finish? Thanks!

Take a look @ my photo album I used Rust-oleum metallic Black Night Metallic. Looks very close to factory @ least to me.
A paints store should be able to match it, but it would be $s. You're polishing a turd anyway
, find something close and call it good.

Did my windows of my wheels with it also.
Is this the same graphite color for the grill and can it be used on the bumper end caps?
Don't paint it ... and move on. If your replacing it with ARB, take the money and put it towards that. Take the time and spend it with your kids, go hike, sleep, eat, whatever ...
My useless 2 cents.

Have to agree with the others...if it's only a temp fix, forget about it.
But if you want to properly fix it, the DuPont ChromaBase color code is: UCAA3 which is labeled as "GRAY-Effect" for my '97. If you're going to spray the end caps as well, you'll also need to pick up some 2350S which is the DuPont Flexible Additive ($$$) without which, the paint will peel off the plastic parts eventually.
Note that this is for a '97. Toyota used a zillion shades of gray metallic paint on their bumpers, etc., so it may not be the perfect match is yours is not a '97.
