i just picked up one and its looks as if the paint is cracking off of it. i wanna sand it off with like some 800 wet sand. but i was told only to use a scotch pad to plastic parts. cause if your score them with sand paper youll never get a smooth paint job on it

I'm no painter,But I believe that the paint should be mixed with a flexing agent.Regular paint will crack under stress on a rubberized plastic part.That is the Problem when someone just shoots the car with the same paint.
Bend the bumper and it cracks.
