Paint crackles ...

[Voltaire53]

OK sad to say this has happened.

A small scratch has suddenly become a serious problem since I got a bit of a scrape but now it is a real problem. I have got a real 'crackle' in the paint and want to know whether it is a paint job or replacement of a panel.

I may really want to kill the van that did the deed but sadly I have no proof other than the damage is exactly the same height as the bumper ...

You'll probably find that the glass has had some form of stress fracture.

I could be a case of just a rub down and a new glass skin required, a deep routed fracture probably wouldn’t become visible until the paint is removed anyway.

IIRC glass fibre will take on a new surface without too much of a problem.
