It depends how far gone your bumpers are i think. I'm just about to do mine which are very grey, nothing's worked so far (creams and back to black spray) so i'm going to take them off and spray them.
I'm now mk1less, ahhhhhhh!

Bumper re-spraying
I've heard of a product spray paint called "Plasti-kote" this has a chemical reaction to the plastic which sticks the paint to it . The Auto glym stuff is good but all these products wash off eventually.
I did buy some bumper spray paint and preperation spray from halfords which was quite succesful.
It's worth seeing if a local paint shop could make you up an aerosol.
All the best Ali

The heatgun technique i believe has much longer lasting finish, but its easy to bugger up.
You can get textured paint too, like plasti-kote, already mentioned.
Alternatively, buy a new one!
