painting polyurethane ground FX?

would I need to use a flex additive to paint ground effects and bumpers? Where can I get the flex additive and how much do you actually mix into the paint.
thanks.

I painted my GFX with a normal spray can! I used Dupli color paint can. It turned out pretty good. Looks good. Doesnt crack or anything. But the problem is taht it gets scratched.

did you use the kind where you spray the base coat on, then spray a clear coat over it?

I atcually just used the paint alone. No clear or anything. Although I should have used clear. It would have looked even better. I just sanded it, sprayed teh primer, did allilte more sanding, and then painted it.
