Touch up paint questions for bumper (plastic)

I have a few scuffs under the front end coming up just a touch. Not even really noticible but I like things perfect so I wanna touch them up. I see some options on eBay and elsewhere from 10-25 bucks. Some are 1/2oz containers with little brushes, some are pens that seem easy to use. Also some of the pens have a secondpen that has clearcoat. Some say they have clear in it.....what do I really need. The pen seems the easiest, but a small brush doesn't seem to hard either. What are your opinions?

Dr. Colorchip. He has a real doctorate in both color and chips.

You'll never want to use another system again. It's awesome. Works with body filler, too. You can optionally coat it with a clear coat pen as well.

I went to the dealer and got touch up with clear coat. It was less than 25 dollars.

They also color match to your VIN

The DIY way to fix that is to sand, fill, paint, wet sand, clear, buff.

A paint pen with clear will improve things, but it's still going to look damaged.
