Touchup paint. At that location nobody else will notice but yourself.

Yes indeed, sand it down mostly smooth, then touchup, I had similar high curb rash in that area, now it's totally not noticeable after touch up. That is a kinda underside location, and from normal standing up looking down it's not very noticeable, easy to sand and touch up so it's not noticealbe

Goober some touchup there. Unless you bend down and look for it, you won't notice it.

Definitely touchup paint then try to stop looking at the bumper because nobody else will be doing it.
