    Paint tips

    i know there is some **** to mix with paint to make it more pliable

    to keep it from chipping/cracking on plastic, and bumper applications.

    im going to have to paint soon, and i want to know what this stuff is called, and how much of it i need to mix with my paint to coat my front/rear bumpers correctly.

    ive seen way too many fascias pockmarked with pits from street driving.
    fukk that!

    thanks in advance for assistance

            depends on the paint, application, and on what you are using to cure it with

              cure?
              will a space heater do it?
              or the summer sun?
              can you mail me a paint booth real quick?

                Just follow the P-sheet and you'll be fine - that's the most important part.

                Ps: flex additive stop being effective after a while, it's mostly used for floppy parts that will be mounted after being painted, like a bodykit for example.

                It's not necessary if you're painting the bumpers while they're on the car, and it won't protect them from chips in the long run.
