remove and install front bumper

I got a 03, 50th anniversary conv. vette. i want to repaint the front bumper recently. It is not in the OEM paint. It was repainted into silver couple years back, it was blue before. I just want to know if there is any write up about how to remove and install the front bumper, and anyone can share.
thank you guys!

The hardest part is the bolts holding it to the fenders, go get a LONG extension for your ratchet.

It's not a really difficult job to remove the fascia, just be sure to have some help when you go to put it back on so you don't scratch your newly painted fascia.
