blade Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 An old lady driving an Insignia backed right into my front bumper...didn't hit it,just pushed it a bit... Upon first inspection I didn't see any damage... after washing the car I noticed a couple of really thin cracks in the paint,caused by the bumper flexing.... Could I buff it out, or is the front bumper going to have to be resprayed?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef123 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 If the paint has cracked then it will need painting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary.J Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Certainly will. A crack is a gap in the paint, you can't buff out something that needs filling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blade Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 A friend of mine had a look today (works in a car repair shop).....basically he said the clear coat cracked, it will certainly need some work, but he thinks I won't need a full respray... Will post a photo of the damage later today.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
