I was asking at the local auto paint store about getting some flex agent to use with the 2-pack paint I have at home to paint the rear boot spoiler. Its the thin rubber type, so ordinary paint would crack. He said he only had matt flex agent and hadn't come across any other type.

Do any of you know the correct type of agent I should use?

Thanks,
Kevin.

no its not plastic primer but a plastizer that you mix in the paint which makes it flexible any decent paint shop will supply it ,plastic allows to paint on top of hard plastic only it does not help fkex the paint,hope that helps

Thanks, I'l try them again. I need to get a DeBeers compatible product, so I'm kind tied to these guys as the other auto paint shops in town supply all different brands and I don't think you can interchange.

Iv'e had no luck with the paint shop, so I'be decided to just use ordinary aerosol spray to paint the boot spoiler. It willl probably crack, but I have two spoilers so this one will do until I get the proper materials to paint the second one.
