Personally, I'd get a quote for having it done. You might get away with the splitter, but you'll not paint the spoiler to your own satisfaction from cans.

The car's paint code is on a little data plate attached to the n/s inner wing. Any decent paint supplier will mix to that code

the paint on your car might have faded, i'd get a professional colour match done

definitely the spoiler i would have done professionally. The splitter, spats etc take a lot of abuse so you can get away with doing these yourself IMO, as the finish dont have to be as good as the spoiler. You wont get many stone chips on your spoiler. I have successfully done all my plastic, except the spoiler from a colour matched aerosol.
If attempting yourself, rub them down to a smooth finish,use a good quality filler primer for the plastics, a colour matched aerosol with even strokes and when its dried, top it off with a good even coat of lacquer.
Its not hard work to do, depends how good you want your car to look.
If you do want a quality finish then have it done professionally, but the prep work will mount up when it comes to the cost. So if you can, do all the prep yourself, this will keep costs down hugely.

You could always do it yourself, and if you hash it up, then at least you had a go.
