I have seen people who have painted the stock ground effects on their CRX and a lot of the paint has flaked off. Has this been because of poor prep on their part? I realize that a flex agent needs to be added to the paint for flexible parts but is there any kind of problem with the stock bumpers/effects holding paint even if the paint is properly applied?
Is there anyone out there, bodyshop folks, experienced with this?

well not if the surface is prepped correctly, you should try the cosmetics forum though, they would be able to help you alot more

 

Most people don't know what flex additive even is, so that's most likely their problem. If you take it to maaco or somewhere, I guarantee you that they don't use the proper additives 90% of the time.

 

I painted these with pepboys stock frost white car paint and it came out pretty good. It started to yellow after a while but all I did was clean the surface a little and paint it. If you take the proper steps it should be just like the rest of the car.

CRX's should've come from the facotry like that. I hate that huge black area at the bottom!

frist off i wouldnt let macco paint my lawnmower. THEY SUCK ***
and no they would use the right stuff they aint nuttin but a shitty *** 200$ paint job.topaint a car right it should run u anywhere from 1000 to 3500 depding on 1. how much damage is there 2.how much parts cost 3.labor on painting it. 3.matrals cost.i would suggest taking it to a proshop. u need a salf ecthing primer for plastic g/e.so the paint will stick to the plastic.if u dont do it it WILL just fall off.i dont care how well its sanded.take it to a real bodyshop and get an estiment.
