Flaw in Bumper Paint

Hello.

I am a new G35 Coupe 6MT owner. The car is perfect except for a small flaw in the rear bumper. It looks like a small hair or something got painted over. The dealer has offered to "repaint" the bumper.

I think this could turn into a nightmare where my car would be in the shop for weeks and I'd worry about a poor job, overspray, etc, and a worse looking bumper. You can barely see the current flaw. Should I let them repaint it or should I do nothing?

I want to insist on new factory bumper. But apparently that is not an option. They do not come painted. Any suggestions or advice? Anybody here go to Fields Infiniti in Chicago?

Get them to take some money off the cost or to throw in some options for free

is it possible that you can high speed polish it? Did they offer that option?

If you can live with it the way it is.....leave it. A repaint won't be as good as OEM, and mignt just be much worse.....
