You can purchase semigloss (low luster) black paint in aerosol cans at the
parts store that is specifically for bumpers. Sand to bare metal (got to get
rid of all signs of rust) clean with metal prep (available at body shop
supply store) and repaint.

Could be a worn suspension component that is shifting when the brakes are
applied, something worn in the drive train or worn brake caliper mounting
parts that are allowing the caliper to move. You will need to be more
specific as to where the noise is coming from and a better description of
the noise for anyone to be more specific.
