I would say it depends on how picky you are, and how good you are with a can of paint. I paint my headache rack with spray or brush on paint about once a year since I haul stuff on it and tend to scratch it up a bunch.
Keep in mind that 1) spray paint won't last a long time, and 2) if it's rusting you should clean the rust (wire brush) and prime the rust spots before painting.
The spray paint fades, it doesn't peel off. If you don't like the way it looks you could always have it painted with a gun later.

I have the chrome bumper. It has a small dent in it from the PO, nothing serious or very noticeable. I installed a Buckstop bumper so it is just laying in the backyard. Probably a little too far to send it though. I think you can get a new chrome bumper for around $150, IIRC, as I was trying to haggle with the price of the truck when I bought it and seem to remember trying to equate that into the deal.

i've got the same color bumper on my 99 and painted it about three weeks ago. right now it looks great but i don't know how long it will last. i don't expect it to last forever but for 25 bucks i got sandpaper-primer-and 2 cans of rustoleum. i would definately do it again. also the original color seemed like a flat but i put on a semi gloss. looks great
