scratch Repair / Matching Paint / Clear Coat

Hi,

I recently had a small accident in my 4runner... let's just say the post won. fortunately it didn't put a dent in my car but it did take off the paint to the layer of plastic (on my bumper). I'm seeking advice on how to repair this myself. does anyone know of a good how to site on this? or better yet had experiences of what to do or what not to do?

1. Need to know about filling a scract using filler / sandpaper
2. How to match paints to my 4runner 2006 (The spray cans in local auto stores don't seem to match exactly how do the pros get the paint on my car to match so well?)
3. How do i get that glossy coat on top of the paint? (I watch one of those mobile dent repair guys and the glossy coat he used wasn't really that glossy - what do the pro's use to get that super shiny clear coat?

Thanks in advance any resource you have or could point me to would be of great help!
