Crappy paint job. You need to go to a place that knows how to paint.

If its raw plastic you must wet sand with 600 or 800 sand paper then you wipe down with a plastic adhesive by hand then another adhesive with the spray gun then shoot sealer the base coat and clear. If does steps were followed there should ve been any chipping.

Look up a guy named Nexson...if he's amenable to taking on the job, do yourself a favor and send it to him and have him paint it. He's on the forum and he has a LOT OF DIY vids where you can see what a painting genius he is.

Not for free, buddy...
Amenable means if he'd LIKE to do it (for a fee). I know Brian is like The WOLF from Pulp Fiction, called in for only special jobs. I saw how amazing his work is though, and I promote it every chance I get. Just as a friend.
