Your bumper is covered with the same paint (primer/base coat/clear coat) as the rest of your car, with one small addition. The bumpers on the pre-96 W140s were finished using a flattening agent in the clear coat, newer models were not. As such, standard paint card products should suffice on these surfaces.
