Default Repainting a bumper in a 120k miles 'vette?

My z06's front bumper's paint 1) has spider webs/cracks, and 2) has a 2" wide and 4" long scratch due to god knows what. My question is, if I Repaint It factory color, will it show that it's been painted? It's yellow, and I ask because the paint on it is the same paint that it came from factory with. It was never repainted. It being a $30k car, that Kind of **** shouldnt be on there.

hey man so if you wanted to repaint the entire bumper you can but you have to get rid of all the cracks in the paint if you want it to go away like sand it down to plastic in the cracked areas then spot prime it than sand and feather the edges smooth than yoou can paint it with the same color code you have but chances are it wont match perfectly being that the car 1999 thats old paint and it does fade believe it or not ive done 3 c5's at my job now just front bumpers lol so i know what im saying but mine were silver and two black ones
