I had a wee accident last night, I reversed in a hurry and without looking (car was rolling back as I had my foot on the clutch) and I rolled into a car parked on the street it had a bull bar so no damage to that car but my rear bumper's paint was cracked.
Now here's the thing. I'm not sure why only the paint was cracked, could it be that the bumper flexed and cracked the paint? But isn't the paint supposed to flexible as well? ie. if something similar had happened with the paint being flexible, would it not have cracked?
A few months back my car was loaned to someone who used the tow back and backed in to the trailer so I had to get the bumper fixed and resprayed. Could it be that the bodyshop did a lousy job with the respray? If so I'm going to call them up! I'm not sure if they didn't do a good job or is that how they were supposed to do it. Any help would be appreciated.
