Budget enamel paint job flexability? Also Clear Coat?

On the plastic bumpers that flex how would the budget enamel paint job hold up to this? Is there a flex agent you can use?

Also has anyone used a clear coat on top of the gloss paint?

It holds up great without the flex agent. I've had no problems with mine at all. From what I've been told the flex agent is only used when the bumpers are painted off the car and installed later.

There is another guy here that sprayed clear over his implement paint and it came out looking great.

Follow the manufacturer's instructions. Sometimes a flex agent is needed and sometimes it isn't. Sometimes it only goes in the clear.
