I had my car re sprayed about 5-6 months ago after someone bumped into my drivers door the only damage was a few scratches and a graze the body shop did a good job of the re spray (paid extra on top of insurance money). Ive now noticed 3 long stress cracks under the paint of the same door.
Is this likely to be from the knock 6 months ago or have i just had the misfurtune of another knock?
The cars a tvr chimaera if that helps.
cheers

If it's in the same area it proabably is from the knock. Stress cracks can take ages to come out and the advice is that if you have a knock, that may not even break the paint, is to leave it a while for any cracks to show.
