Any help? Tryign to take off the bumper

Hey everyone...I am planning on taking off the bumper so I can re-paint it. This is something I have never done, any advise on the best way to take it off and the type of paint to use to get it back to about the same color?

Here are some pictures that i took of the damage...as you can see it goes all the way across, guess the person before had a fender bender.
