Thank you for info, I kinda thought that was the issue.

1) What to use for striping it?

2) Does the primer and clear have to have flex in them as well?

Yeah, this is a really great point....I was about to fix a scrape with clearcoat on one of our Mercedes bumpers cause it disappears when wet so figure a coat of clearcoat will do the same....but to the point made above I do need to get clearcoat with flex agent if its on a plastic bumper....correct?

Painted my center console using automotive touch up paint. Prep work and proper steps is imperative, but results were good.

I too used Automotive Touchup, was matching Atlas Grey Metallic
and turned out great. Its all on the prep and wet-sanding both after base and many coats of clear.
