you can use a plastic primer that is specific to use on plastic, and you can buy it in aresol, if your not set up for spraying.

worked good for me, but be sure to use intercoats if your taping over your work..........been there done that.

Most "flex" agents I'm aware of only slow the curing process to allow bending as you install finicky parts...Honestly never used the stuff myself and never had a prob....Clear coat even when fully hardened is flexible enough to be fine...If ya fold the part over on itself or hit a tree...it's gonna crack no matter what ya used....That's the only downfall to painting these plastics..Most are beat on and wont hold up to that..........I've had wheelers roll over and still hold paint fine..just depends on the impact.
