After much advice about this issue, when I had my car painted in May, after
confering with the paint shop, it was decided to paint it on the car, and
use a small amount of flex agent in the entire paint mix.  Visually, it
turned out great - one lister (Benton?) who saw it at Dubfest was surprised
to hear it was painted on the car after looking at it.  Durability?  Too
soon to tell, no issues yet.

There was no special prep done on it at all.  As for exactly what this "flex
agent" stuff is, I'd imagine it's just generic body shop crap.. <?>
