   I'm fairly confident with spraying stuff, have done smaller things to good standard in the past (eg eye brows, splitters, alloys).

   When you say bumper, I'm assuming you just mean the lower parts?
   
   The textured parts are quite difficult to spray as have you to rub them down very smoothly, etc... if you're thinking of colour coding?

   no not colour coding just the already painted parts. my current bumper has a massive crack in it so am looking for a replacement whether it be a Vtr bumper or an aftermarket one and then spraying it up.

   Be daring. Do it yourself. It really isn't that big a deal to be honest.
   just take your time really.

   for what it would cost, i would get it done properly. you will only end up regretting it.
