Yes if it flexes the paint will crack. Its the paint that is the problem, it can only bend so much. Better then having the kit crack in half "fiberglass"

Bad times. They should just make every car out of colored plastic so you can **** it up and just replace it cheap.

when you get the kit painted you need flex agents in the paint, and clear coat.

Yep, exactly.

Take off a stock painted bumper....you can practically bend it in half without the paint cracking. That's what a good flex agent will do for you.

If your paint is cracking..it's strictly a lack of proper paint rather than a problem with the kit.
