So I was about to put the lip on this morning....After a closer inspection there were some bubbles in the paint/primer already on the lip. There is no way this will look good un-painted. After runnning my finger nail lightly across the bubble, it will easily take the paint/primer off leaving white dots all over. You can just imagine what happens if you install it and have common road debris hitting it.

So I guess I'll have to get it painted. My neighbor runs a body shop and I'll see if I can get him to paint it for me.

Yikes, I would sand it all off and start the primer from scratch. I would not trust the rest of the primer that's on there.

Good thing you caught that before installing. Hope others' lips don't start flaking away due to the inferior primer.:eekdance:

I assume most of you will have the lip painted. The black paint is just to make the lip look good. Under it the gray part is the actual primer. I let factory know about this issue.

Upon request, is it possible to have these prepped and reading for painiting? If the black paint is flaking off, it will have to be sanded down and re-primerd otherwise...

Evo-R, this is why I PM'd from the beginning about the issue I had, lol Also guys the lip is going on tomorrow.

EVOR 09-19-2010 10:59 PM

After saw above photo. I check all the lips that came in for this. None of them have this bubble problem. I looked closely to these photos, looks like some thing was spray on top of it to cause this. Cmike if you going to paint the lip this should be okay, but must be something got on top of it. Did other pieces have this issue? I really looked very closely to all the ones I have. None have this.
6 FRP version came in and only 2 left!

It was just the middle piece. The side pieces were perfect. There isn't a clear coat on it and they do scratch easily however. It's not a big deal, but maybe just having primer for future products would be better. It was in the box the whole time and nothing was sprayed on it. It looks like moisture or the paint didn't spray properly in that one area.
