Depends how deep the scratches are...if you can feel them with your finger nail it's probably respray/new bumper/touch up time

you can touch them up, just build up the coats with a touch up (get a decent match from a1autowise) will probablies take about 5 - 10 depending on the depth

best to quickly sand the the scratch to clean it out and for the paint to stick to

i find a toothpick can be decent to build up the coats

build it up so its past the clearcoat then wet sand back

then if you have one use a machine polisher, just used a polishing pad to removed the sanding marks and blend it in

But you will be best with a new bumper from a breakers thats the same colour or a respray, by the time you cover the cost of fixing the scratches then your probablies be better off to just get a new bumper
