You might get away with a "smart repair" in the short term, but I suspect it will need a bumper off repaint for a permanent repair.
Hope this helps,

Thanks Cliff for stepping up with an answer. Just before I bought the car from Rover Rabett in 2010, the right rear wing had to be filled and painted in a body shop. In all the years I have owned the car, the bumper has never been repainted. It’s been suggested I sell the car and get an old banger as a run around. I am undecided about selling. Getting back to the flaking paint, I will have it assessed and take it from there.
