Right I've started to prep my S1 body kit and i've noticed that the paint has cracked so I have taken nearly all the paint off.

What i want to know is what you or your painter has used to prevent this from happening.

I know there are certain flexi additives that can be added to the paint. My problem is I'm doing mine in basecoat and lacquer so I guess I will have to add it to the primer basecoat and the lacquer.

Any info would be much appreciated cheers mark

You must use plastic primer first so that the 2k primer will adhere to the plastic. Personally you don't really need a flexi additive because the bodykit is ridged enough when fitted the the car.
