Chips and paint scratch repair products

I'm tired of my bumper looking like I ran into a brick wall.. Has anyone had experience with any of the following?

www.drcolorchip.com
www.langka.com
www.paintscratch.com

There's a section of paint (~8"x4") on the bottom of my front bumper that's missing paint (thanks to my dumbass friend that ran over a curb). I'm thinking about ordering the plastic paint kit from paintscratch.com, but worried about the nozzle quality since it's not the typical $300.00 paint gun that you'd see at a bodyshop. For what it's worth, I have a griot's garage orbital that I'd plan on polishing with in the end.

My bumper also looks like I sand blasted it after a couple of bad winters here. Hopefully colorchip or langka can address that...

Anyone have feedback or other recommendations?

The products mentioned are for 'paint chip' repair. an 8 x 4 -inch is not a paint chip. Go to a body paint shop for a proper repair

Paintscratch.com invalidates your statement...

The only proper way to fix a sandblasted bumper is a respray.
Trust me, I've tried DrColorchip.
It helps to cover all the chips but they are still visible, especially under direct sunlight.
