hey everyone i have just rubbed back my bumpers again and i realised that they are the hard plastic ones not the soft shitti ones anyway i rubbed them back AGAIN and got some clear plastic bumper primer and sprayed a small section of the bumper and the primer went white and crack like all shit AGAIN so i got some general body primer and sprayed a bit of that on and it seemed to be the best thing ive tryed yet so i was just wondering if i can use the normal primer and does this mean if i have the hard plastic bumpers they are off a z/zz thanks soz for the long post

yea it will it will just come off easier, if they were the softer ones, id say no, here's an idea, prewash em and leace em over night n spray em the next day, this way what ever pepwash is on will be dry cos prepwash my cause it to crack if there is residue left on the bar

i think the bumper primer is a flexable primer to use under 2pack paint because 2pak is more of a plastic paint than acrilic. what type of paint you useing?

After you prepwash them, use a clean, dry rag to wipe them down. If you leave prepwash to evaporate, it will leave a residue that the primer/top coat won't like.

i was sayin prepwash it, then leave it to dry like, u prepwash it, dry it then leave it over night, might solve the problem if not either ur paint and the bar dont agree or u have some major problems
