Thanks for the comments. I had just washed/waxed my car before taking these photos.

I used what a lot of people recommended on this forum - Plasti Dip. It's a paint-like material in a spray can that can be peeled off after drying on a non-glossy surface. The can cost me $18, but might be cheaper for you guys in the States.

@mulancer, only removed the front grill to dip the chrome. Everything around the bumper was taped off.

Two new photos. White is mine. Blue is a friend's new '11 Sportback.
We washed and waxed his car. Mine was left alone, so it's kinda dirty
And please don't mind that bird in my photo haha.

What I did was set a layer that taped off the entire front. Then I added a second small area of tape around the edges of the bumper. After each coat, I would peel the second layer 1 minute after spraying so that I wouldnt have to cut or peel.
