Sup dudes...I got a poly nismo bumper getting painted and the guys say that the paint might not stay on because of the plastic. Has anyone had problems with paint on their bumpers? Should I hold them accountable if the paint eventually peels after they warned me?

 

i had a poly nismo and yea i had flaking problems on the sharp edges. primer and everything started peeling. no problems with any other kits i had except that one

 

having the same problem with a strafe poly nismo right now.

 

Wow... i wish i would've known this before spending all this money. How bad is the flaking sedan? Any plans to fix it?

 

Well right now my shop is having a ton of issues painting it so I havent even gotten it back from the shop yet, hopfully it works out after everything is done. I'm crossing my fingers.

 

I was searching around and people were saying to make sure they add flex into the paint...i'm going to call the shop on monday to ask about the flex.

 

Yup flex additive, or the paint will crack if/when the bumper bends. Also ask them about adhesion promoter.

 

was jus about to chime in.........yes flex additive. if that shop youre taking it to doesn't know about it i wouldnt even paint my car there....thats something every paint shop should know about.

i've had my nismo bumper since 09 and nothing has flaked...of course theres hairline cracks but thats from me having my car low and hitting the bumper against the pavement one time and bending the whole bumper

 

Yeah my shop uses flex additives and a lot of it lol, they did my whole paintjob and had no issues so I have no idea why he's having issues with the bumper, he says it's the worst he's had to deal with.

 

its not a problem with the paint. i had mine painted and they also used flex additive. the paint just had a hard tome sticking to the type of urethane they used to make the bumper.

 

Hopefully someone from strafe can chime in..

 

When my bumper was painted the shop used a product called "bulldog" which is an adhesion promoter.. no flaking here..

 

I'm getting kinda worried. I've been calling my shop a lot about prep and so on...im not sure if I should intrude more with the flex additive or just trust their work...smh

 

You ask them about the adhesion promoter too??

 

idk imo adhesion promotor and flex paint is all common stuff that all auto paint shops should already be familiar with no? must be something else
