The best way would be to take your car into a bodyshop and have the bumper repainted.

However, since your car is white, just buy a $10 bottle of touch-up paint from Ford.

My white 06 had a small rock chip on the front bumper when I bought it (got it during a test drive, I guess) and the body shop just used a little bit of touch-up paint to cover it, and it looked fine. I could see it when I got up close to the car, but from any distance it wasn't visible at all, and no one else seemed to ever notice it.

White is a really good color for hiding touch-up paint, so that's the way I would go. If you had a black car or other dark color the touch-up is more noticeable, but on white, just go with that. If you want to blow a bunch of cash you can have the bumper repainted, but it'll probably just get another rock chip on it before too long, so that's probably a waste of money.
