Rep Power: 0 Paint cracking on urethane kit HELP
I was just cleaning the car today and I noticed that paint was cracking on my WWG5 front lip. This has happened to me before. Unfortunately I didn't notice it last time and a chunk of paint just came off. I had to repaint the whole lip. Is there any easy way to fix this? Thanks in advance.

Rep Power: 285 is the paint chipping due to the lip scraping the ground or is it just chipping by itself?
if its chipping by itself then the body shop did a shitty job and you can go to the shop that painted and tell them to repaint it for free cuz they did a shitty job.
if the paint is chipping where the lip hit the ground then it's not the body shop's fault.
touch up paint will always look liek touch up paint... thats why i dont liek touch up paint. if you really want it to look perfect then let a body shop repaint the whole thing and if you dont then i guess touch up paint would do.

urethane can hold up paint just as well if the body shop prepped it correctly.... some body shops take short cuts in prepping causing the paint to flake off over time.

Rep Power: 0 the paint is cracking due to stress. I have already gone back once and they did paint the lip over again. I guess I'm just going to find another body shop which will do a better job then these lazy bastards.
