Did you mix in any flex-agent on the paint to keep it from chipping and cracking since it's on eurethane? This was a process we had to do about 12 years ago, I dont know it paints have changed...

I recently talked to a paint shop about this and they did NOT recommend a flex-agent. Most modern automotive paints are polyurethane color or clear mixed with a hardener, so a flex agent isn't needed, but you still have to be careful when installing the parts.

The body shop supply I talked to said as long as I used an adhesion promoter, before the primer and again before the base color coat, that it wasn't nessesary. I think some older paints did required a flex agent...some guys still use them because that's the way they were taught in the good old days. I just followed the autobody supplys' advice. I also confirmed this on a few different autobody forums.
