Default Spraying a bumper

Can anyone advise me regarding spraying a bumper.
I have sprayed a spoiler in the past, which was a reasonable job but that was new and preprimed and I could do with some expert advice.

It is the front bumper, just above the number plate, it looks as if something corrosive has took off the laquer and some of the paint.

The area in question is around 1" wide and 2" long, so not a large area but it seems overkill to take it in for the full bumper to be resprayed.

Can anyone advise me how to go about a good diy repair. The car is an RB5.

Thanks Bob

You need to re paint the bumper mate unless your an experienced painter that can step down the colour to blend it in..Otherwise it will stick out like a sore thumb!

I got one of the mobile repair people to come round to my garage and done a similar area on my front bumper for £50, very good match I could not have done it that good, this is not much more than buying the minimum materials you need to try yourself so not really worth it.
