scuffed bumper repair question

so I scuffed / scratched the lower part of my front bumper. Can a body shop sand paint and clear just a small section of the bumper without repainting the whole bumper? I've opticoated the car so I don't want the whole bumper redone.

Thanks

Yes they can. Many don't like to do it because if there's a problem with the paint not matching it will be more noticeable in a small patch than if the whole panel was painted. However, a good body man can do a very good job of matching the paint. The shop you take your car to isn't as important as the individual doing the work.
