Was there a deep cut or is it just the paint that attaches your bumper. If there`s no deep cut - you can take out the 'foreign" paint by using a cotton balls with nail polisher. Your bumper paint (silver) will not be affected in anyway. Try it.

RE: Update

May want to do that sooner. The mail polish probably didn't do anything good for the topcoat of the paint. If you spend a lot of time outside, you may notice some discoloration in that area (luckily silver shouldn't show as much as darker colors). I'd touch it up and then wax that area again to be safe.

RE: Got a little problem

Now that you have removed the white paint, I would use some polishing compound and polish out the scratches.
