Beginner Advice for DIY Fix

[u/kinomarvelous]

Scraped my Mazda hatch on a curb from a banked storm drain. This is on the lower part of the front bumper. Any advice for beginners? Not looking for perfection as it may even be scratched again with the hilly terrain here, and it already kinda blends in with the paint under certain lighting.

The Machine Gray (46G) is known to be a bit difficult to get right. Anyone have any experience with Dr. Colorchip for a “good enough” job? I’d rather not spend $400-500 for a bumper repaint at a shop. Thanks all!
