Default custom paint/kit advice

I have two issues concerning my paint/bumper:

1. A small paint shop owner offered to repaint my whole car in a custom color for a pretty low price to help get him some more business. He said he used House of Kolor paint, is this a good brand of paint (looks good and durable?) ?

2. Is polyurethane repairable once it gets stress marks in it? A while ago my bumper was hit, it maintained its shape and didn't tear. It did, however, get stress marks and the paint scraped off. So I just had it sanded smooth and repainted, but the stress marks came back and are now cracking my new paint off. Is it possible to get this repaired once and for all? I would normally just get a new bumper but I have the stillen front, and I am thinking it would be cheaper to get it repaired if possible.

Thanks for the help

I would ask how many layer of paint & clear coat. Also, is wet sand included... these are the typical questions you should ask.

I second that (price)...and as a guy that has some nice looking paint jobs that were complete $hit becarefull. These "deals" often don't have enough prep work involved and chipping becomes rampant within a year or two, orange peel is much more apparent but mainly the detail is not there.

Thanks, I will ask him about that. Does anyone know anything about the brand of paint or if my bumper can be repaired?
