Default Paint ding in bumper. Help?

Hey guys,

Well, my brother convinced me to put a presidential candidate's bumper sticker on my car the other day. Who it is is not relevant, but let's just say that two days after I put it on, someone conveniently put a nickel-sized scrape/ding into my bumper. I was just curious how much I should be looking to pay to have this touched up. I know Lexus sells their touch-up paint, but I'm a terrible artist and would make it look worse than it already does.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Take care!

If the damage is minor, touch up paint should be your best bet. Don't take it to the dealer, they will charge you an arm and a leg.
