Unhappy Bumper scratch repair

Hello All,
So I wanted to know if anyone had any ideas as how to repair these bumper scratches. It happend from scraping on the humps at a drive in movie theater. Some if it quite deep as you can see the black under the paint. I was thinking to wetsand the rough spots with 600grit sandpaper and then do my best to paint it with touch up paint. Ideas/suggestions are welcomed.

that's pretty bad.

I'd just wetsand the area with 1500 to smooth out the edges (maybe tape the hard edge above it just in case) put some touchup on the exposed plastic, and call it a day. Wait about 2 weeks then buff it with a DA and some UC. Should not be too noticeable but it will never be 100%
