I know its a little late, but did you add a flex agent to the paint for the fillers? The paint will crack if you didn't. :frown:

I asked about that I was told that it wouldn't be required on this paint. I still have enough to paint them again if need be.

I used a single stage Nasons fulthane.

You should be fine...They don't flex that much, unless hard impact on the bumpers,then you have other problems as well... .You can spray an aluminum test panel and bend it almost in half and the paint is still intact. Yes, I have done it with the Nason's ful-thane to check it out for myself..it's a reasonable cost paint line, IMO

Its supposed to be very durable also.

Flex agent is put in the paint for assembly if the part is painted off of the car. It's effect is gone from the paint within a couple of days after cure.
