      any paint you use is going to chip. you could go factory color which looks nice, or trim black which is easier to repaint when it gets chipped/rashed.

        i went the trim paint route...but the bad thing is when it chippes you can see the light grey primer, alot because of the light/dark contrast of paint/primer.

            Slap a whole bunch of good acrylic clear paint over it and it will last a lot longer.

              Did you use primer too? If so what kind? Im just worried about having the primer crack from flexing...

                They come ready primed. I used Duplicolor bumper flat black, great results.

                    Any ideas though for a flexable primer for the "is" lip?

                      no primer necessary, just a light sanding to even out the surface, and spray that shit on

                        www.paintscratch.com sells primer in spray cans with flex agent added, if needed.
