So i recieved my new Wings West WRC kit earlier this week .. and after looking over the pieces i'd have to say the kit doesn't come "ready to paint" as Wings West or Ford Racing say it does. The bumpers and fender flares all need to be cleaned with soap and water and baked for 2 hours.

So does anyone know of a body shop that is able to Bake these pieces for me, and at a decent price.
Bake????

I think youve mistaken something...

Clean the pieces then get the bodyshop to use a polyU flexible primer and your all set.
ya Bake ... according to this Urethane Parts Paint Prep sheet i got from wings west with the kit, it says:

"If a bake booth is available, the first step is to bake all the urethane parts for 2 hours at 80 degrees. If you do not have a bake booth, placing the parts in the sun, or use of a hair dryer will owrk fine. This will allow the part to sweat out oils in the urethane and any trapped gases."

then after this your supposed to clean it with soap and water then apply some plastic adhesion primer, then begin with regular primer and base coat

To me, it sounds like all wings west does is pop the parts from the mold and toss them in a box and ship to your door
whats happens is that poly kits have an oil on them that keep then in good condition in warehouse storage. some places do bake the parts first to release that oil out of the part. My parts were baked. Some places also use a release agent chemical to get rid of the oil... Either way is fine. Some ppl just prefer old school prep instead of new school...

my correction only my side skirts were prepped. My ford OEM parts came primed and everything..
