polyurethane lip paint ?

[rkcb7]

i got a poly lip for my car that has been painted before but the paint is chipping off in a couple places so i want to repaint it, does anyone know the proper way to do this ?

You need to use adhesive promoter, apply that first then paint. Since poly flex's the paint on top of it will crack and chip from stree.

Latex based paint work well. No cracking while flexing.

aka boat paint if i remember correctly.

How would i take the paint off thats already on it ? Besides sanding it.

I thought marine paint was oil based? Home paint is often latex, a roller should let you apply it smoothly enough to wet sand it to an acceptable finish.

Aircraft stripper, or a heatgun might make it easier to scrape off.

Wont aircraft stripper eat right through it though ? Since it is pretty strong

[kinguin7]

Good point, some of them will, though there are ones that are supposed to be plastic safe. Mediablast? I can't think of any other options.

How many layers of paint did u use the first time?? Rattle can or actual paint from a gun?

[rkcb7]

There were 2 layers of paint on there. Thats how i got the lip there was red paint then a black over top

Sorry. I ment to say lexan paint. you can get it from hobby stores that sell radio controlled car bodies. Maybe other places. It holds up very well. I've got 5yr old bodies that the paint still looks new.
