How do I fix this bumper up?

I just bought a new (2nd hand) regular 02 civic coupe bumper in replacement for mine that is totally done. This new one is great but this light scrape/scratch in the left of the photos, it doesn't have any feel to it, its just there and I can't get it off with WD-40, witch i've noticed is actually great for getting off some scratches. Now, the bigger almost start of a peel, you know what I mean. I don't know what to do about these and it's not a huge deal to me but of course i'd love it perfect! Any suggestions on what to do? I have done a DIY bumper scratch fix and it worked great on the front but not so much on the old back bumper, so I don't think I want to attempt that again.
Thanks and all opinions are appreciated! BTW, kind of tried with a dupli-color paint pen and that thing was crap.

Re: How do I fix this bumper up?

I have a grey um *cough*cough* silver car too that has a bunch of paint imperfections as well. There's a product called ScratchX that wipes on like polish that helps to blend it. Frankly just keeping it waxed help a lot as well. Silver is a good colour for not showing the scratches too much... at least until you get up close. I wax my car every 3 months. Other than that respray the bumper is the only way to get it perfect. I've been told that silver is hard to colour match as well... I would find it more annoying to have an entire part resprayed and not perfectly match the car. I'm pretty OCD about stuff like that too.

Thanks, I'm gonna look into that Scratch X stuff. Oh i know, not worth respraying for the cost and it screws up the look. Wish I had the cash to do a total respray
