Thumbs up Question about Shine Bumper

Hi,
I just received my shine bumper i ordered and had a question. After inspecting the bumper I noticed there aer some stress marks. Is this normal for this type of bumper? will it get better or worse after the paint?

You will be fine.

Tell the paint shop to primer the piece at least twice.

I thought it was urethane? if so, why would it crack like that?

There's probably a lot more carcks you can't see that will show up with time if you don't put enough primer on there.

I think you would have been fine as long as it was prepped properly before paint. Hopefully you get one that was taken better care of next time. Good luck man.
