Bumper scuff repair

So I was a complete idiot today and had a little run-in with a wall...

Wasn't a complete mess, just got some scratches on my plastic front bumper and on one of my fenders... I plan on sanding the area down, maybe putting in a light filler, and repainting it to match.

Are there any products you'd recommend for filling as well as painting the area once its been sanded? Also, what should I use to clear coat the area after I've applied the paint?

Any other tips would be greatly appreciated.

Got any pics?

Most newer bumpers can handle a lot of abuse. The damage usually looks worse than it is. It's usually just some paint transfer or scuffs that can be fixed with a buffer and polish.

Paint chips have to be repaired with touch up paint. Then I usually wetsand and polish the touch-up paint smooth with the factory paint.
