Using papier mache would mean that I could mold it, let it set, then take it out and spray paint it so it's not as conspicuous.
I haven't used the stuff in years and years, but I remember making a paste from something like glue and water, soaking newspaper in it, and then layering it or squishing it around a mold.
Do you think I would have any problems with this around the front bumper at all? I would imagine it'd melt or catch fire if I used it to cover the front grill.

If you use Titebond II or III it might give you some water resistance. It shouldn't catch fire if you use it on the grille since that is normally way below the ignition temperature of paper. It might be a good use for the output from your crosscut shredder.
