    if you want to paint the bumpers you need like a special primer if you want to lay down some real car paint to make it look like a LX, LX-I or SE-I bumpers. i was going to do that but its just better something to get them at the junkyard...i think it would be easyer for you to take them off the car....do it in a closed are like a garage. Sand them down with like 400 grit to get the scratches out and then use like a plastic promoter(it acts like primer) and then shoot some rattle can gloss black paint and they should look good

    go with silver or white, i did black and unless you have a super clean/straight car to start with, it'll blow nads, you see EVERY indescrepdency (speeling?) and ugh, i'm not going black again it looks cool but is super high maintance, and i think a silver or white looks better anyways.
