Need advice on repairing damage on bumper

I was hoping to get some help on how to repair the curb damage on my front bumper. This damage is from the previous owner and the dealer tried to cover some areas with whiteout or something >.>

I was able to find Picus's great DIY for rock chip and scratch repairs, but I'm not sure if that is enough to repair these really deep areas.

Suggestions, links to other DIY's are greatly appreciated!

Respraying is obviously the best way. XD I was just hoping to get some ideas on how to make the marks less obvious by spending some quality time with my car. ^^

If I was going to repaint the bumper, I'd probably go ahead and get a new one.

I am working on a little something just waiting for everything to come in, as you can see here its also IP so you'll have one option after I'm done. So if it works out then you'll know what to do. if not then well you'll know what not to do! lol
