If you have a white body color, I put bondo into the rock chips as well as scratches and then I used my friends buffer to buff it down. It looks like new from far away and is only "really" noticeable if you're up-close.

My bumper is Anthracite. I plan to put a touch up paint and let it dry than use a razor blade to scrap off the bumpy paint and sand it off. I don't it will work or not.

If the scratch isn't too deep, try to buff it first. Most of scratch will come off.
