the easiest way to do it yourself is to go to halfrods and buy the bumper/plastic spraying kit, it should consist of about 5 steps (each one has a different solvent or spray for cleaning,preping,priming,spraying,laquering- or similar)

I've seen some pretty average people getting good results from this, however you'l have a funny slightly uneven bobbly texture when spraying stanard bumpers

To smooth them you have to use some high build primer and keep on spraying on, sanding down, spraying on, sanding down untill you get a smooth texture.

TO achieve a good look from standard bumper just back to black them and put a laguna splitter on the front, that's wat i done to mine untill i respray and valver it and it looks pretty decent.

But be warned, using silicon "back to black" sprays or cream will make it pretty hard to spray your bumpers as they make it an arse for the paint to stick as u can't get a decent key

Just black GSI bumpers to get a nice shine, then when you want to paint them just use some meths and it gets the silicone straight off.
