ok, so i finally got my gfx. my dad has some experience with painting and we have all the equipment needed. i was just making sure of one thing... i have heard it is wise to paint them after they are installed on the car so that they do not bend and chip and crack the paint while the gfx are being shaped onto the car, is this correct or no?

I would say paint them before mounting.1997 Camaro RS Convertible<br />White w/black top, factory chrome rims <p>Mods so far: Borla catback, Catco high flow cat,CAI,2 point STB,painted calipers and drums with caliper camaro decals,GTS blackout all the around,5% tinted windows all the way around,Streetglow red neon lights inside and under, raised camaro fill in decals on the rear, 30th anv decals, and a nice stereo system<br /><a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/member_pages/view_page.pl?page_id=275528\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.cardomain.com/member_pages/view_page.pl?page_id=275528</a> -

ok, but i am curious, why? will bending them not crack the paint?Comment

it wont crack the paint- the amount of flex that will be needed to mount them is minimal. i have an rs, and i just re-painted my whole car- take the kit off and paint it- everything will look alot better that way.-Justin-<br />Red 1996 Camaro RS- Wrecked 11-1-03...<br /><br />1991 Camaro RSComment

Also, just make sure you have the flex additive mixed in with the paint. The plastic is designed to flex a little. The paint could crack, flake if you don't have the additive.1997 Camaro RS Convertible<br />White w/black top, factory chrome rims <p>Mods so far: Borla catback, Catco high flow cat,CAI,2 point STB,painted calipers and drums with caliper camaro decals,GTS blackout all the around,5% tinted windows all the way around,Streetglow red neon lights inside and under, raised camaro fill in decals on the rear, 30th anv decals, and a nice stereo system<br /><a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/member_pages/view_page.pl?page_id=275528\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.cardomain.com/member_pages/view_page.pl?page_id=275528</a>Comment
