You only need to add flex to the clear, not the base. Have read the same all over the net. Base gets no flex, clear does. > [@Come play Forza 2 offical thread/ NYSpeed Forza Racing Series](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/come-play-forza-2-offical-thread-nyspeed-forza-racing-series/30186/3): > > probably would be cheaper or easier to buy a new bumper or maybe not, you ever consider just takeing it somewhere to get it done, Why take it somewhere whe I can screw it up myself? Honestly, I look at this as a learning curve. If it turns out as good or better than it is now, I learned I can do something else. If it turns out to be total crap, I will buy a new one, and I have learned that I cant paint. either way it becomes a $200.00 learning class for me. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/body-panel-repair/189758)._
