   if you clean the car up mate then just back to black the bumpers it will look good. thats all i do to mine and after a few times of back to blacking, they look a treat. but my own personal opinion. at the end of the day, its your car do what you like and will make you pleased

   Use Veg oil on the bumpers it will restore all the oil back in the bumpers and is garanteed to last a long time compared to ur 1 week back to black treatment
   
   If your definately going for the spraying I would do the bottom of the bumper Admiral blue and do the the actual bumpe strip part on the top of the bumpers in Gloss Black

    Agree with this, you could make it two tone to make things a little different.
