Default prep work question

i noticed from my last paint job that on the front bumper of my teg, where the bottom part meets the top part some of the paint didnt stick to well. i was wondering, would it be best to leave it all assembled for my last paint job here, or should i take it apart. reason i ask is cuz i noticed that the front bumper can be seperated into 2 pieces. the only thing im worried about tho is some of the paint maybe crackin when i reassemble her. thoughts?

I would take it all apart. Everything that can come off, should.

You should be fine during re-assembly, just don't rush it. I would use a fast flash clear or let it sit so the clear cures completely before re-assebmly. Take your time and just be careful. As long as you prep it right, the clear shouldn't crack or flake off. You just have to worry about scratching it when putting it on.

Also use a good adhesion promotor like BULL DOG. Stuff works like a charm
