How to repair bumper tabs?

These broke off a while ago. For now I drilled a couple holes and zip ties them in to keep bumper on, but that results in some panel gap that is noticeable because it's not held as tightly in.

I tried epoxy putty but it didn't succeed. What can be done? (Either at home or a professional)

Had a scrape. Sanded down, primer, light sanding on the primer to smoothen, 3 sprays of the colorcoat (emptied can, it was tiny), then 3 sprays of clearcoat.

Been a few hours now, looking like this, parts cloudy parts fine, unsure what to do.

Wait a few days and 2000 grit sandpaper + meguiars ultimate compound?

Start over?

The paint can and colorcoat were BMW oem paint.

Advice appreciated.
