Aloha Ed, It sounds like your painter didn't add a plasticizer (which gives the paint a bit of flexibility when it's cured) to the paint before spraying the bumper. You'll have to follow the same steps body shops use to prepare new bumper covers on late model cars. In your case, strip the bumper down, prime it, then paint it with the plasticized paint. Ron Haglan in Kihei painted my bumper (along with the rest of the car 10-years ago) and I've never had it bump, crack or wave. As he was Mike Mayberry's painter back in the '70s, he has a lot or experience painting Panteras, and L bumpers. You might consider shipping your bumper to him (DHX and Aloha Ai r Cargo are really affordable) to have it refinished. If you want to go that route, I'd be happy to assist in the logistics. Mahalo, Scott
