Quoted from darcangeloel:

I just finished up my earth shaker PF install and I installed a new set of plastics when I was putting the top side together. I noticed on several of the plastics when I would peel the white backing off (Slowly and only using my finger nail to get it started) some of the paint would come off with it). Is this normal? Sadly when lit up it is pretty obvious on several of these. This is not a dig at CPR by any means I am just wondering if I wasn't supposed to take off the white off the back and clear on top or if I was supposed to use some sort of special method to have the glue let go easier. I also noticed on certain plastics if you bend them (Even slightly just to get something around something) the paint kind of splinters off as well. I was wondering if perhaps after getting them unwrapped so to speak if I should do a light clear coat of some sort just to protect them from a ball bouncing into them/ if they are slightly bent perhaps they will be "glued" down a bit better.

I had exactly the same issue. Contact CPR, they will help. Good customer service.

Did anyone get their plastics reshipped? I've sent them several follow up emails and haven't gotten any response. Kind of annoying.

Yes, was a fast reaction.
