use reg spray paint to fix scratch??

i recently ran my prelude off the road and into a few saplings :-(

anyways, i got some bad scratches on the front. i took it to Honda's body shop down here, they said i needed to paint the whole bumper ($500), i took it to another body shop, they said i had to paint the bumper too ($200). when the guy saw my sad expression, he suggested i go to a Sherwin Williams paint center, and have them create a can of spray paint to match my car's color (San Marino Red) and do it myself...

i'm a lil scepticle about this...any tips? and would i just spray the new paint over the scratch, or would i have to sand and all that other stuff?
