Bumper is not necessary to remove.. but it is an option...
The exhaust can be removed instead of the bumper for sure, which in my opinion might be a bit easier...
One or the other would have to come off to access the topside bolts.
There are only 4 bolts total holding each diffuser in place.
The bottom two are very easy, while the top 2 are a slight PITA.
See below picture to get a better idea.
Hope this helps...

Are you planning on using high-temp paint?
Not sure how hot those get with heavy / spirited driving? Compared to the actual exhaust has to be a lot less but probably still gets pretty warm. I've got a pyrometer to test if but know no one local with an F to test with.
