    You'll never get any decent finish with a can.
    Bite the bullet and get it professionally done.....but I'd get a few quotes first.

      If your luck you might find a ready painted bumper on e bay cheaper than that.
      Or ring some mobile paint people, that is the sort of thing they do for a living.
      £75 - £150 a panel is going rate for a body shop, seems a little high to me.

          You get what you pay for. Get it done at an insurance approved body shop. You deffo need the full bumper paining but just as important, you want the bumper to match the rest of the car. I had my rear bumper done at one place cheap and although they did a nice job, the colour wasn't quite the match I wanted... More noticeable in certain lights. Got it done at an insurance approved place and its spot on form every angle in every light.

          Once you get it done, get yourself some parking sensors fitted. Even the cheap Cisbo ones are worth fitting. I had them on my Facelift and they worked great.
