New Bumper and/or Repaint
 
So, when I got my 6s over the summer, it had a few gashes in the bumper (but I got it for a good price, so I'm not complaining). This wasn't great, but wasn't that bad. Well, today I had to load some crap into my car, and I dropped a casting and it put an inch long scrap in the paint (not deep enough to damage the bumper, but enough to remove paint). Like think how you can scrap your arm and the only noticeable effect is that there are white lines along your skin. It kind looks like that.

So, I was wondering, is there a good and easy/cheap way of touching up the scrap and various minor gashes with matched paint? Or, is there a place I can buy a new bumper, and how hard would it be to install?

RE: New Bumper and/or Repaint
 
The bumpers themselves are pretty easy to install, but from your description of the damage, buying a new one would be a huge waste of resources. Unless the bumpers themselves are damaged (the scratches are deep enough to gouge the plastic, not just the paint) I'd say get yourself some touch up paint and be done with it.
