I am in the process of painting my front bumper cover. As others have said it is a lot of work, best to remove it (which is relatively easy and allows you to clean out the radiators while you're in there). Mine has been bumped in the front, repaired and rebumped so there were a lot of cracks and one small gash. I sanded, filled with bumper cover filler, sanded, primed, filled the low spots and repeated a couple of times. It is OK now, a lot better than it was but I did all this work with the bumper cover on the car. This year I will remove the cover and do a light sanding all over and paint the whole thing again. So yes it can be done. Less than $200 CDN. When finished it will be a big improvement but not what a professional could do. I am also worried about touching something with the front end and ending up with the cracks again...
