I just sprayed my arches and top bit of the rear bumper where the dimple effect is, to colour code them, it looks good. As this is the 1st time I done it. so please with it!
My mate said after a bit the paint will come off is this true? If so how long?

as long as you have sanded it down primed it sprayed sanded sprayed sanded and laquered it, it should be ok (also that is a very rough guide.)

Depends on how well you prepped the surface beforehand and the quality of the primer /paint/ laquer, what did you do to spray them?
