A good repaint by a good shop.
Solid research toward locating right place is required.

My '08's 5 years older, developing slightest of SW cracks on front fascia.
Never been any sort of front impact w/ anything short of bugs.
Filed it w/ other maintenance on an aging C6.

Bought it new in 2013 for the wife, never been repainted or in an accident. I guess maybe the south florida sun caused it.
