Default RE: body flaws?

My rear bumper is messed up from some guy bumping into the corner of it parking. It pushed the bumper in far enough that is scuffed the paint on the back and made the paint seem to pop/crack in horizontal lines along the top of the bumper. I'm debating getting a new bumper because it's cheaper then a repaint, but I don't know how well it will match.

Also, I have swirls, swirls, swirls, from the previous owner, and I don't trust myself enough with a buffer to fix it, so I don't know what to do about that.

ORIGINAL: Rippin n Tarrin

The paint on these cars are not great. I have notice bubbles and some runs with a drip here and there. It seems sometimesif I'm driving on the highway and a feather flies in front of me I'll have a new scratch. The paint seems to chip and scratch easily.
yup lol ive seen that stuff thats why i take as much caution as i can

thats exactly what i have. its like they hammered it out, it looks ok, but then u look at it from an angle and its like all pockmarked? like all these tiny tiny dents and inflections in the surface, its not smooth?
take a pic.

Yeah thats exactly what it is, a real pain. The dings and wrinkles a pretty bad, but the paint is right up there two. Obviously no one notices but me, but its there, heck it even has orange peel and i am not sure it is as glossy as the res of the car. I will get you a pic though it may be kinda hard to see, but i will definitley try.

I have some stone chips unfortunatly. I do alot of highway driving so it is sort of par for the course. Only a couple on the hood though. They seem to touch up pretty well though.

Eventually when it gets bad enough I will paint another bumper and use decent clear on it to avoid the problem.

Other than that, no flaws anywhere.
