Which is one reason I got several thousand $$ for "diminished value" because of my accident repair. It would take an anal retentive expert to ever tell my car has had paintwork and he'd have to look really hard. The thing that will eventually hurt my cars value will be the Carfax, not the quality of the repair.
The OP can't get any dimished value of course, but these days it's not unusual at all to have plastic bumpers front or rear repainted from minor damage. It really doesn't diminish the value of the car if done professionally..
