depends on how big the scratches are, if their coin size marks then touch up pain should do the job but if their long scratchs more than a few inches then you have to respray it ( cause touch paint in the tube will be noticeable at that size)

it also depends on wether the scratch only hit the clear coat or went thru to paint and metal

if you wanna spend that little you might as well buy a bumper same color as yours from a junk yard or a part out. OEM touch up is 10 bucks or so a tube and its hard to make it look decent. then you still need to put clear coat...
