I've done a couple of bumpers with rattle cans (too much trouble, or too lazy, to get spray gear out), need to flat, spray with primer (use correct primer for plastic bumpers for good adhesion), lightly flat, then rattle can it (I used 2 cans roughly per bumper).  Got my cans from local motor factors (in Rushden), who colour match and mix up the cans (always had goodish match this way).  Spray clear lacquer while colour coat still "soft" to minimise risk of delamination :y 
HTH

Sound about right  ;) Ive never been sure on this but do you flatten the paint before applying lacquer ?? Im thinking it may give a better shine  :-\ :-\

your car color is silver which is very hard to match.. besides plastic surfaces have different electrostatic loads then metal surfaces so
whatever you do, the final color will be a different shade even with a matching paint.. :-\
 
so first try on another wide surface imo..  if you ask my opinion, first apply 4 tiny layers on the bumper and close the surface.. let it dry .. next day sand 1200-1500 (old) lightly .. and finally apply 2 layers paint 3 layers laquer  ..
 
ps: keep a tweezer handy and if any insect stick to paint (while painting) take it with a tweezer (not by finger  ;D )  than spray the area few times , it will heal itself :y   but during dry up time dont touch anything
