Just when I got back into the mustang game!!! I spoiled myself & Painted My GT & Some other goodies. On Christmas this lady backed into my Rear Bumper corner & put that stress crack in it. Now I have to go back to the paint shop. She told me I was just wanting money out of her & My car is fine. So I had to go off on that old drunk chick & Her Dad said He would just pay for it. I said I don't need anything but for my Bumper to be re painted. Someone said they would have to put a new one on, Because once it's a stress crack it will crack over & over? Is this correct?

You won't have to get a whole new bumper. The front bumper on my Saleen had some stress cracks from someone tapping it. The body shop should sanded down the cracks, slapped some new paint on it, and now it looks way better than before.

Not that bad...D.A. down real good with 80 grit. Clean with solvent. Apply some "flexible" bumper repair material. Prep for primer...Use "flexible"primer...Basecoat and then "flexible" clearcoat.
Factory paint jobs don't split like yours did.
I have had customers come back after 40 mph impacts...without the paint cracking or flaking anywhere.
