Need Some Advice

Well, I messed up last night. The lower center grill on my M-Tech bumper popped off the clips on one side, so I was trying to pull it back on with pliers. Well, the pliers lost grip and my hand flew, and dragged the pliers across the lower part of the bumper. My nail does catch on the scratch. So it is not just a fine scratch at the lower part. I'm just wondering what my options are to fix this or at least make it less obvious. I have no experience with touch up paint pens or anything. What is my best option? Here is a pic.

If it's deep, you might want to try ordering a Dr. Colorchip kit. It comes with everything you need. Don't expect 100% perfection, but if you follow the directions you should get some good results.

Yeah, I was looking at that earlier. If it minimizes it though, I would be happy with that. Just so it doesn't stand out as much. Is it really as easy as it looks on their website as far as dab with the brush, smear, and wipe off the excess. Anyone have experience with this? I've never done anything like this before.
