Default Painted valence question

Hey guys before I start in depth research on how to paint my valence I was wondering anyone could steer me in the correct direction, I know it's going to have to be a special paint because it needs to have a little flex in it. I've ordered primed bumpers and will be using a paint gun that I've been using for a few years, I'm unfamiliar with painting flexible plastics though. Thanks in advance.

Go to the local auto body supply, you just need the flex agent. You mix it it with paint. I use 4:1:1

Thank you! I just found SEM super flex and it comes in a pint. Hopefully that'll do the job, should I mix it with all three coat? Primer, top coat, and clear? It would make sense as the paint job is only as flexible as the weakest layer.

Depends on the type of primer. I only use it in the bases coast and have never had a problem.
