Should be able to sand down and repaint, looks like they didn't add the flex additive for bumper and molding paint.

Is that a dent, or a scratch? Either way, you'll have to get it repainted.

Bumper cover is the 'bumper' that most people refer to. The actual Bumper is a big metal piece behind the bumper cover.
