What you are describing sounds like cracks in the Gel-coat. This is a final layer over the fibre-glass that gives a smooth finish ready for painting. Painting ovrer the cracks wont solve this as they will just come through the paint. | |

its generally the coating they put over the fibreglass strands which cracks. only way to prevent this happeneing is too prepare the bumper or skirts properly in the first place. if it has happened then it needs to all be sanded back and started again on the infected area. my rear bumper has done this too, solved it now hopefully. | |

i would take the bumper off, place a piece of matting on the back where it is cracking, sand the cracks off, fill it back up to the correct level then spray it again. | |
