Black seems to be the most common color to paint the bumper support....

I thought you were asking for what looked best, not the cheapest way out.

Take it out first. I use a scotch brite & then clean it really good with some all purpose cleaner. (Wax & grease remover, if you want to buy it.) Spray bomb it with light even coats.

I haven't seen one painted body color in person...
