Default painting front lip cypress green, rattle can?

anyone know how to do this. im not trying to make it look great but decent. i've seen ppl do it to their lips also, and side skirts. it comes in a rattle type can not 100% sure what it is. if someone can point me in the right direction it'd be greatly appreciated. thx again.

i would just buy enough for the bumper first. if you like it then pay the money for more paint. no use in waisting money if you may not like it
