I painted the front valance and rear bumper of a 911 Turbo track car once with rattle cans, and it turned out surprisingly well.

But... on a street car, especially one this nice, I'd want it perfect. I'd go to a professional paint shop for this one.

Good luck!

I had to repair some damage on the second hand m sport bumper i bought on ebay, heavy scuffing and a minor split on the underside. I fixed the damage and painted with a rattle can and some clear coat. My signature pic was take before i had rubbed i down with some 1200 wet and dry. I looks pretty good and not very noticeable. I do have an air compressor and a gravity fed gun but i couldnt be bothered mixing paint and making a mess. Just take your time and dont get too close. BTW i was the bottom quarter to the right i painted.
