Worth it to have bumper painted???

for a couple of small nibs?

A Gen 1 MCS rolled into my 5 wk old MCS Clubman last week.
https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...d.php?t=142637

Took it to body shop today and a clip on the left wheel trim is broken and I will have that replaced. But the guy is proposing to remove and paint the bumper cover to repair the two nibs I tried to capture in these pics.

Opinions please on whether this is worth it versus just using touch-up paint?

Thanks,
obieseven

If that's my car, it's already in the body shop.
