Or you could fill it and wrap it in vinyl. Or do what I did and use plasti-dip which does a great job at hiding imperfections

plasti-dip is this stuff that sprays on like paint but its a flat black rubber coating, and if you have a heat gun or hair dryer you can get it to dry in less then 3 min just apply the heat and it dries ready to touch in a couple minutes, it took me 15 minutes to paint and install my OEM front lip

edit,

its perfect for front lips also because it NEVER chips

Lol just read this and I think I'm going to do mines because my front lip has endured over 5 years of beating lol. Do you think I should just coat the bottom half that scrapes or the whole thing?
