If they find micro fractures tho, I may just purchase a knockoff amuse for painting.

I doubt the bumper is trashed. Respray and call it a day.

Yea. Im not bothered or worried at all. The only thing that slightly scares me is having whatever shop I choose do a proper job so the paint matches identically. Grey metallic Pearl is probably not the easiest to match.

Nah. I only do that with the Ford focus. Haha. The Z gets proper treatment. Like doing the springs in a guys garage I met here while netiher of us had ever done it before.

that damage doesn't look that bad. Find a shop that knows how to blend and I'd say maybe $400 max

Called the best shop in my area. He said it would be best just to respray the whole bumper. Blending would look good for a few months, but you'd start to see the blended areas over time.

So it's looking like a full respray of the rear. Not that I mind. Can get rid of some rock chips as well. hahaha.
