2 QUuestions about painting

[PROBLEMATIC]

1. My front bumper is peeling out like cracker. How can I remove the old paint without causing damages to the bumper?

2. Someone reccomend me engine paint for the rims ( with the appropiate process to paint them, obviously ). What do you think about it? Anyone who has used it?

Thanks.

To answer question # 1, I had the same situation. I sanded it down with various grits of sand paper until I got everything even and smoothed out. They also make this stuff called bumper stripper, a paint stripper made specifically for plastic pieces like bumpers, spoilers, mirrors etc. A friend of mine used that on his car and it came out perfectly, it just took a while.

2. Ive never heard of using high tempature (engine paint) on wheels. I usually use wheel paint, or epoxy paint. They are both very durable.

Yeah now look what you did, I replyed to it and now I have to wast time and deeve's bandwith to say the same thing I said in the other thread.

To answer your question it sounds like your bumper has ben repainted. It sounds like who ever repainted it did not use the right kind of paint.
The paint for the body of your car drys and becomes brittle.
Our cars have plastic bumpers and when you push another car or hit/get hit they flex by design. if they where repainted with brittle paint it will crack and peal.
They make a paint for plastic bumpers ( it come on our cars when they are new) that will flex and not crack upon impact.
The police ramed the back of my car,well it felt like that but they let my car stop there ugly ass undercover minivan and it busted the front of there ugly ass minivan up but it did not do ANYTHING at all to my car.
I am posting the next part because I know people will ask questions like why did the cops do that, if you want to know then read it
