Remove for sure. By painting it on the car you stand the chance of leaving tape lines, clear pealing where you can not get it sanded good enough, dry spots on the bottom of the bumper where you cant get to, serviceablility issues for whoever works on it later on, and the main reason is if Chuck Norris was going to do it this is how it would be done. Besides it is not that hard to R&I the bumper or (remove and install) if your not in the body lingo.
