paint popping off xenon body kit

[Kevin T.]

hey everyone, just like the topic says my paint is popping off my body kit. At first it spiderwebbed and now its just popping off in certain areas. I have scraped like 10 times already and it sucks, its unavoidable. So I was wondering if anyone had any ideas, my friends tell me to buy some touchup paint and wet sand it. I don't really want to use the stuff with the brush since that always looks like crap unless its like a chip or something. Is there anywhere I can get victory red paint in a spray can? And if I found it, what do I do? I know I have to sand it, paint it and wet sand it but I'm scared I'll just screw it up more. Thanks in advance for your help.

go to oreillys or autozone to get the spray paint. well, at this point, in its condition, could you relly mess it up more?

bite the bullet and have it done at a body shop

Was this something that you had painted or is this a factory painted body kit? If you had it painted take it back and have them do it right.

The body kit is urethane so I can see how the paint can pop off and such. I'm just looking for a simple fix that could be done everytime its starts to look bad. You think AutoZone would have victory red touch up paint in the spray bottle? I guess I'll give them a call tomorrow. Thanks

whoever painted it forgot to add flex additive..i had that kit for a long time with no paint problems

[unvmyrs]

1dangerousv6 is correct, you have to use some sort of flex additive...But if you rattlecan it yourself, sand it down REALLY good, then prime 3-4 times, then spray the paint 5-6 times, then clearcoat it 5-6 times..

No matter what method of spraypaint you use, it's not going to come out right and it will chip again.
Save your money and get it done professionally! Once you apply spraypaint to the body of the car, things just don't look right anymore. I know there will be some here that disagree, but I'm sticking to my statement.

I'll agree with that statement. I'm about to paint a Xenon front fascia for my car, and know I'll be adding a flex additive and applying an adhesion promoter to the urethane first. Like guys have mentioned, take it back to the shop where you had it painted and ask them if this should be happening.
