Default Buffing/Painting How-to

I got a few chips and scratches that need to be fixed up. I also have a few places where "bubba" (which is sometimes me) has tried to fix paint chips in the past with a slightly wrong color. I also have a good 3 square inches of paint missing from the tip of the front bumper from being backed into. Where should I start when learning how to fix it so it looks right again?
