cracked bumper paint ?

[pgp]

My back bumper was hit today by someone that did not see me? The only damage was a small dent and cracked paint on the dent.( total size 1-2") Would this have to be repainted? (Total or touch up) I am guessing the crack might get worse by water getting in there and freezing etc. Can this type of plastic be fixed? Any ideas? Thanks.

I would fix it with touch up paint. You don`t HAVE to do anything, but it isn`t too hard to fill in the crack with paint via a toothpick, and then sand/buff it down to the level of the surrounding paint. Even if you left it higher than the rest (no sanding), I think you`d still be better off than leaving the crack exposed.
