Rear bumper questions



Upon closer inspection of my rear bumper cover on my '92 100S, I have noticed
that it is a one piece unit, and not two seperate pieces as I thought before.
The damage that was done to my rear bumper by the SUV bumper is more
superficial than structural, but it was done to the matte black area of the
bumper. The finish is cracked for about 6 inches, and easily peels off, and
also is scuffed in a couple of other places. Is this matte black finish a
paint that is applied by the factory when the car is being painted, or does it
come to Audi pre-applied while the rest of the bumper is still unpainted? I've
notived that the black part also has a slight texture to it, so is it possible
for the body shop to sand and repaint this section, or is a new bumper cover
needed? This damage was caused by the other driver, and is no way my fault,
and I want the job to look right, so I want the black on the rear bumper the
same as the other trim pieces, and also for the texture to match. Anyone else
been through a similar repair? TIA.
