recommendations for cheap bumper paint repair in Socal

My bumper has a small fender bender. Here's the damage...it's pretty bad. I don't think it can be buffed out or anything. What are my options?

i used some scratchx 2.0 and i was able to actually buff out a majority of the scratch except for the ones when it got down to the primer.... should i just use some langka or touch up paint? thanks for any advice in advance.

Touchup, wetsand, M105 wool or yellow, OPT II Orange Pad, OPT II White, top off with wax and you should be good.

Good job on the recovery Ben!

thanks Norm. i'll try the touchup paint tomorrow and if it doesn't look too good, i'll look into the wetsand and wool pad.

Ben, that's a good recovery, but to get it spotless, you're going to have to get a body shop to strip it, and redo the whole thing.
