That is plastic not metal under the paint. Bumpers are made of plastic. I think you can clean it up and a re-conditioning companies can touch up the paint if needed.
You don't need a body shop just re-conditioning company like this one:

Or you can try to repair it yourself with touch up paint.

Cool! Do you think I can use at-home scratch removal tools like Quixx to get this done? I have not used it before, but their instructions and few youTube videos seem pretty clear on how to do that..

I don't know. I do not have any experience with Quixx product.

With some suggestions from forum members on nissanclub.com, I tried some non-chlroinated brake cleaner, and its much better now. See: http://bit.ly/yhRf1D
 
There are a couple small scratches will I can easily conceal with ScratchX or Quixx. There are a couple larger scratches that will not go away with these compounds.. so I might try some touchup paint and then using scratchX on it.
