can this be spray painted ?

I don't want to be Debbie Downer, but if you're already trying to go on the cheap with a car like this, maintenance will probably eat you alive.

While a cheap car to buy, parts are expensive, and I'll bet there is an assload of deferred maintenance on a car like that.

And I love a project, don't get me wrong. But a man's gotta know his limits...

I can't see any detail at all. Can we get larger pics? Thanks!

I think Redtele58 summed it up best. This car looks like it has not been cared for or cared about. The bumper is probably not the biggest concern, just the most visible.
My current project car cost me $2,500 with a hardtop included. If I didn't have a big pile of parts and lots of DIY experience I could have easily spent $2,500 more already just getting it roadworthy, not to mention cosmetic issues and convenience functions.

986 Boxsters have been around long enough now that a neglected one may be worth it's weight in scrap.
