I have an 84 LX vert. I had the whole thing painted 3 summers ago. Had to have the hood and front bumper cover redone last year. This year the front bumper cover is till not taking paint well. Looks good when its fresh but I have dings and chips all over from road debris flying and the grill is once again spider web cracking.
It's going back to the body shop again so is there anything I should ask for in terms of paint? Something that can deflect tiny rocks better? Wont crack in a short time frame? I had my wifes Hyundai front bumper cover repainted 2 years ago, its also plastic and no cracks. Whats going wrong with the bumper cover on mine?
Its actually a GT bumper cover from an 84 GT that I had installed when we did the bodywork. Each time they rework it, they strip it to bare plastic and re-do it.
Is there flex paint? additive? a deflective clear coat? I hate the idea of a bra for the nose. It would hade the work that was done. Bra's are for Camaro's.
