So im in the process of painting/ doing bodywork on my car and I was wondering what to do with the front lip. Its the comptech ITR replica. I just figured it might need different prepping since its polyurethane. Anybody have any tips for prep? anything special to do to keep it from chipping? thanks.

While that was ever so helpful, I happen to be researching the same thing and came across this--&gt;

What it does is open up the pores in the urethane and remove some of the oils in it. This allows the primer to get into all the little bits of the bumper on a microscopic level and almost get absorbed by the bumper. This primer is also flexable which will minimise if not eliminate the chipping of the paint when going through temperature changes or from normal driving. It looks to me that they used a non urethane specific primer and that is why it looks like that.

Here is thread you needm you'll hear about the problems and mistakes, and how i made the right choices to make a perfect finished product https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1782413

Learn how to spray paint before if you don't know how, practice on a junkyard fender or a scrap peice of metal. always start spraying before the object, end spray after object. Do not stop in the middle or you'll have a spray line not a smooth coat, move your arm following the curvature of the lip, do not move your wrist pretend ypour arm is in a cast. Industry standard always is atleast 2 coats of color, 2 coats of clear.
