yes I believe your right the cold played a factor in this destruction of paint ah wel I can chip all it wants to now cuz u want see it the car body has grown on me yes the cold I thought I had down with the temp up in the area I was painting was quit hot but maybe took it out side to earlier to get some pics and coulda caused a in balance in the paint lol im curious to see my bumper when I smash something I might leave it might look cool but I kinda dought it I just glad I could recover the body as for the outside I def sanded it so im pretty sure its gonna stick it better lol :devil: now all I gotta do is figure out how to attach the roof spoiler and what color I shall paint it

Definitely the cold. Most rattle cans need at least 40 degrees when sprayed and 24 hours to cure to prevent curling
