Default Suggestions on paint repair and or touchup for keyed car?

I live in a big city and there tends to be "rude and disrespectful people" who have no regard for other people's property. I work from home and my '96 Acura 3.2TL is my first real lux. car at least for me it is. It's in wonderful shape. Low mileage for a '96. Anyway, last year over a period of 2 weeks, "rude and disrespctful people" had keyed the hood of my car and scraped a good portion of paint off the passenger and driver side back bumper. I took it to a Honda/Acura specialist in the city and gave me a quick quote of about $400 alone for the bumper to be re-painted. I didn't even ask about the hood of the car. I know where to find the color code on the car which is on the driver side door. I think I can do the touch up myself. I am a meticulous type of person and who is also a perfectionist. Any suggestions? Websites to check out? Materials to get? Do's and Don't's. Or should I say the "heck" with it and pay someone else to do it? Need some expert advice. Thanks in advance.
