bumper damage

7.2K miles and I finally got my first 'aw shoot'. Made a 180 turn coming out of Kohl's parking lot and the opposite side curb was too high. The bumper rode up on it and made this godawful sound.
The whole right underside and coming up about 1 inch is scratched up.
Who has got experience with damage like this ? It looks like nothing that can be buffed up or detailed away. Do I need to replace the entire bumper or is there another way to fix this ?
Help !!

Should cost around $150 to paint half the bumper.

I'm north of Legacy and east of Independence.
As for "aw shoot", it's a long drawn out texan "oh shit".

Sorry to hear that.........it hurts when your baby gets damaged. And then there are people who just trash their nice new cars (usually by hitting ours!) and don't seem to give a sh** about them. Can't understand that. Even if they don't care about fine automobiles, "hey it's still an investment".
