I have to paint a wings west lip I bought and it's made of urethane, so it's almost like rubber and flexes easily. What paint is best to use on something like this? It's just a rear lip so I plan on paint matching it myself at home.

someone must've painted a lip kit before...

 

the paint has to have a flex agent added into it so it can flex and the paint wont crack or peel.

got my paint from paintscratch.com

 

Its also good to have a bodyshop "bake" it
To get all the oils out of the urethane...help make the paint stick

 

if you paint it well its on the car you dont need flex agent but if its off the car you will want to so it dont crack when you put it on. i would use deltron or DBC, its made by PPG

I would still add the flex agent to the paint. Lips will not only flex when you install it but when your driving as well, i.e. if you hit any road debris.

 

I might paint it while it's on the car. If I ever take it off I'll baby it and get a few people to help keep it steady. thx for the info guys

 

I would recommend painting it off the car...thats if you want better results with it...

 

i just wiped mines down with alcohol, and then spray painted flat black.
