how much would it cost to just get the messed up area fixed and not the whole bumper repainted?

depends on how big the area is and the severity of the damage. also depends on the shop, as that alone would vary the prices greatly. best bet is to get a free estimate on it.

Just have a shop sand it, primer and paint the area....if they are a good shop, they can blend it in flawlessly.

just a blend should cost you no more than 200.

its the rear only but you would think that the rear would be less than the front

As I said, take it off for them and bring just the bumper to them......you would be amazed at how much they charge you to remove a few bolts and tabs, and then replace it!
