Advice on touching up paint damage - see pics

Some doofus scraped the side of my car and was nice enough not to leave a note. The damage isn't terrible but still an eyesore. Since the bumper and wheel well trim are plastic, it may not warrant a trip to the bodyshop. I checked out Youtube videos from Ammo NYC and others involving touch-up paint and wet sanding, as well as solutions from Dr. Colorchip. Not sure which way to go for DIY and any help or your own tips and experiences would be appreciated! What do you guys recommend after seeing the pics below?

I used Dr. Chip for my imperfections.

Agree with Mega-Ken, Dr. Colorchip has worked well for me.

With that said, if that damage was on my X5 I'd have it professionally resprayed, I'm too OCD.
