Recommendations on Bumper Scratch?

Hello everybody, just looking for some advice on what to do with a scratch that I have on my back bumper with many other little spots, I've attached a picture of the area. It seems like the paint chipped, just looking to see what options I have. Occurred when I backed into a pole that was low and didn't see, mad at myself

If they're just surface scratches and not deep into the paint some rubbing compound and wax will hide them very well. As for the chipped paint maybe some touch up paint will work? If not they make big band-aid stickers for cars!

From what i see it seems like you might need some touch up paint, other than that I don't know what else you could do. I also have a chip on my back bumper and the paint lifted and stacked, don't know how else to explain it. Not sure if something hit it or someone hit me parallel parking but it's annoying.

Any recommendations on a good website to buy some touch up paint?

Your local dealership should have it in stock. Last time I bought a little thing of touch up paint I believe it was <$10
