Hi guyz,
I bought a urethane bodykit (skyline kit from redlinemax.com) recently, and got it installed and painted (twice) from my local bodyshop. Tha thing is the paint keeps chippin off and cracking at slightest touch of the curb. I had to get it painted twice cuz the first time paint just started peeling off, even when tha car wasn't being driven. Does anybody have the same problems with their urethane bodykits or did my bodyshop do something wrong??????
thanks

You have to primer it and put lots of clear coats, but any bodyshop should know that

That first experience with that body shop should have told you something...Find a new body shop.

Sounds like the body shop sucks! or didnt put any flex paint in there

Well, the first time they painted it themselves, then the second time they sent it out to "professionals." They did prime it(the first time), i know cuz i had come in everyday to check out the progress. The second paint job was 100times better, but just the other day a small freakin stone, chipped my hood and now my hood had a huge grey spot cuz the paint now has started chippin off. The other thing i need to know is whether the bodykit should be sanded down so tha primer or paint sticks better?

Flex paint is paint for bumpers and body kits that is rubbery. If you get hit in your bumper and dont have flex paint, the paint will crack because paint when it dries gets hard... all body shops have it... or atleast SHOULD
