Default bumper repairs

whats the best way to fix some damage to the bottom lip of the bumper.. i let my friend drive my stang since hes been begging to for months and when parking he went too far forward and hit the curb which scratched the bottom lip... any suggestions on fixing it - besides getting a new paint job or new bumper? lol thanks

If you could post a pic of the damage it would be helpful. I have done some pretty descent repairs with paintscratch.com's rattle can paint. Tore a mirror off once backing into a tree on a dog legged driveway. Rattle canned (color and clear coat) a new mirror and you couldn't tell the difference.

Not if the scratches are through the clear coat.
