Seven seems like a lot but the front bumper takes a beating from road debris.

I am sure that my car had the front bumper cover repainted before I bought the car and I wouldn't be surprised if it was also repainted before the previous owner bought the car from the original owner.

One layer per previous owner might make sense but somewhere along the line one of the repair shops really should have sanded it down and started over rather than continuing to pile on more coats of paint.
