Hmmm, I've never seen, but I wouldn't doubt it. Maybe you should consider getting your car re-clear coated.

never happened to my 90-93 tegs, but has happened to both of my 94 tegs. I think it has to do with the shape and size of the rear bumper, (94-97 rear bumpers are more bulbous when compared to the more square narrow 90-93 rear bumper), and when people parallel park......they hit it causing it to flex the plastic, cracking the paint...........just a theory.

I've seen the same problem on a handful of older 3rd gen Integra's. Your best bet is to get the car repainted as there are probably fade issues that would conflict with just having one body panel painted.
