Default Q about paint repair

I have a very small scratch on the rear bumper of my new PW 370, but the scratch is all the way through the paint to the plastic.

I bought touch up paint (4 bottles - primer, base white, pearl, clear) and the results might as well be White-Out. It looks like hell. Better than seeing the black plastic, but pretty pathetic.

Can a good paint shop just sand and re-paint that small area and make it look decent, or am I forced to re-paint the entire bumper?

It's only about a half-inch long, but it drives me nuts being a new car.
