Cracked paint on rear bumper
So I'm a dumbass and backed into a dumpster. Yes, I have a backup cam. Yes, I saw it. Yes, I hit it anyway. I feel nothing but shame. No dents, but the paint on the rear bumper has a crack in it about 8 inches long horizontal. i don't think the plastic is actually cracked, just the paint. Any ideas on the easiest and cheapest way to repair something like this? Do I have to take it to a shop for a full repair or is there something I can do myself?

What about those “touch up pens” that they sell at the dealership, and on eBay. Maybe that would fill the crack and camouflage the crack? About $20.

You can get "looks good from 6 feet" results with those pens if you take your time and try to level the paint. The paint can be taken down with lacquer thinner.
