It depends on how deep the chip is. In my experience the paint is mixed perfectly, so it matches the factory stuff just right. With light, small chips you can get a seamless repair. With deeper stuff that goes down to the metal... not so much. You can layer it up but you're really just making it so that you don't notice the chip unless you are actively looking for them.

If it's just paint dmg and not an actual scratch on the surface of your bumper as well, just use Dr. Color Chip. I'm actually planning on using my Dr. Colorchip kit tonight on a rather large chip on my front bumper, I'll take pics for you and let you know.

Also, why do car parts have to be so expensive... so much I want to do, so little money I have :'(
