Another Bumper Repair Question

Alright dudes,

tell me I'm not nuts.

I've got two pretty deep gouges at the bottom of my front bumper and a couple of very tiny scuffs on the driver's side from squeezing into too-tight of a parking spot. Bumper was replaced and re-sprayed after a hit and run about six months ago and then I went and did this. Sigh.

I've got a can of automotive primer, a can of factory-matched WRB and a can of hi-gloss clear coat.

Anyway. So. Take the bumper off, mask off everything I don't want painted (even the really really tiny scuffs and scratches that won't buff out), clean, prime, sand a little, spray the WRB and clear as per instructions, and then sand/polish? Is this overkill for little scuffs and scratches, and does that really matter at the end of the day? What grits of sandpaper for wet/dry sanding should I be using?

I just want to make sure I'm not doing anything too stupid, but man having scuffs and scratches in an otherwise brand-new bumper pisses me off.

But like... that's it, right? This is all I need to do?

I'll grab photos after work if needed.

Thanks!
