That flex agent will keep the paint from chipping and cracking, it works VERY well.

i baught Krylon fusion paint, made for flexing plastic. i sanded down my back plastics with 500 grit sandpaper, then 1000 so it was smooth. then do one coat VERY lightly, just dust it. Thats the tacking phase. then give 3-5 more LIGHT coats. Do this on a warm day with MINAMAL humidity! If you do this right, it will come out great. Then a day later when its 100% Dry get some PLASTIC Specific Clear coat and give it 2 light coats. Will make it shine and look great. i did this to my back white plastic, i paiunte dit black and it looks perfect, cant even tell. oh yea, and i removed all the decals very gently, and i re-installed them in their orrignal posistion AFTER ALL the painting was done... looks great. good luck

I always use krylon and it works great for almost anything , makes plastic look new and doesnt peel or chip if put on properly.
