I JUST PUT IT ON DID NOTHING ELSE... picked it up and put it on and paint just started basically falling offfffffffffffffffff... the dude charged me 250 to paint the whole lip kit...

maybe that is the problem.

but this is the real problem:
-wings west lip kit is made out of poly urethane material (unless you bought a replica fiberglass version).
-paint cant hold onto polyurethane without an "adhesion promoter". its a special glue you mix with the paint, which makes it hold onto poly urethane material WAY better than using regular paint without the promoter.

So he still should have painted the thing right and now the hell hes doing.... im pissed this is stupid if you own a paint job then you should know how to paint... retarded

i think you should paint his front window with your shiet :thumbup:. haha or make a huge smiley face on his hood with it.

he might be an unexperienced painter then. honestly, he should have known that what he was painting is made out of poly urethane and that paint wont adhere to it, but will comform to the surface like a mask that can be easily removed.

had he have known what h was painting/doing, he is supposed to tell you that there is an extra charge for the adhesion promoter plus the cost of the paint.

did you tell him that it he was painting a poly urethane lip, just to remind him?

[Mr. BUbLeGuM]

Im going up there today after i get out of school to talk to him about it and see what he can do to fix this.. he told me when i picked the lips up that he had paint left over and if anything happens to them to bring them back to him and hell touch em up..... ill go up there today and talk to him... TO ME it just looks like the front is kinda chipping but the back and sides look good.. not sure but ill just tell him to look at them and stuff

thanx for the help and stuff though fella

no problem.

[Mr. BUbLeGuM]

eh i called him and he told me to just go ahead and put the lips on my car and bring my car up there so he can paint them while they are on the bumpers... does this sound right??

he said they probably starting chipping becuase of the movement and twisting and turning of the bumper to fit right and if he paints it while they are on the bumpers they wont chip like that....

that sound right???? hope this works

no that sound crazy wrong. It should be able to be painted off and the special stuff added to the paint would make it so it did not chip when installing.

yah, just like what hawaiianboy said, it will still chip off eventually. he needs to use the adhesion promoter. if he suggests that he doesnt need it, he is an idiot.

[Mr. BUbLeGuM]

k kewl ill let him know....
