Your bumper cover should be a rubber like material, not fiberglass. I have no idea about fixing it w/bondo.
On the paint, I doubt you have any possbile options except maybe pressure washing the flakes off and hitting it with a spray can of touch up.

Is it possible to find spray touch up in my factory color?

go to the local parts store and see if they have the color, most are available in touch up bottles like nail polish.. it might be a little harder to find it in a spray can...

If not I'm sure GMpartsidrect will have the 5 oz. cans of your color, just check the RPO codes. A member on this sitegave me the part number for gmpd for my color, I'm sure someone can help you.
