Default Touch up bumper?

So I've had my 2012 3.0T for a total of 2 days before some jackhole clipped my car. Grrrrr!
Fortunately damage was minimal but the bumper behind the right wheel was scratched through the paint.
I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet but has anyone had decent success with small touch ups on the bumper?

Grrr

Get an ounce of paint in your color from eBay and take it to a good detailer/paint correction guy.

I've had good luck with Dr Color Chip. On my 2012 Glacier White there was a 3-4 inch gouge on the rear bumper where the black showed through. Their paint matched very well and it's hardly noticeable. You may have the same success. Good luck.

+1 on the dr. color chip. It will probably take 2-3 applications but should fill it in nicely. Won't be perfect but beats $500+ repair.
