Look great. Just curious, did you have them use a flex agent additive? May not be an issue, but since it is plastic, I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask. Again, that really looks nice.

The painter said nothing about it. I think if anyone is considering this, I would use an autobody shop. They are familiar with plastics and what is required. I also would get 3 or 4 different shops to take a look.
