does painting the front lip require sanding or anything like that of some sort...i got mine painted and installed and the fuucking paint chip....goddamm i'm ****ed....

 

You should sand it w/ some steel wool or something along those lines so it is not shiny at all anymore. When i painted mine, i used paint made by PPG for Urethane that is supposed to bond better and flex, not crack, when the piece flexes. This doesnt solve bottoming out (which i do only occasionally w/ sprints on their), but i dont have any visibly chips or scratches from anything on mine.

no matter what you do, its still will chip or crack. Its just like your front bumper. Hit it hard enough and you will notice

 

i don't think the guy that painted my lip sanded the damn thing...cuz with the slightest movement it will crack and chip...what is visible then is the shiny surface...

 

not relevant right now, but where did you get your wing from?

looking at all the return post i don't see any sig with a wing so i think ur referring to me...i got it at a local shop here in houston...

no, i don't know who manufacture this particular one that i got, but erebuni carries the same exact wing...

 

Erebruni and Wingswest carries midwings and supra styles for maxima's as well you can get JSP's mini scorpion which has universal fit. I think http://www.sarona.com/nissan.htm# has mid and hi's as well.

 

This is the proper way to paint your lip as told to me by stillen rep:
1: clean with polyurethane cleaning agent(2 times)
2: sand it down
3: prime it
4: sand it down again
5: paint and make sure to add flex agent in the paint which will prevent craking or peeling

If you do it this exact way you shouldn't have many problems. info@stillen.com for more info
