If the paint scrathes off easily then it wasnt prepped properly. I dont recommend polyurethane over paint that is peeling. Your best bet is to prep them properly and repaint. First strip all the old (new) paint that is peeling down to bare wood. You should prime with a good oil based stain blocking primer like Kilz. After that fully dries any good paint will do, but an oil based paint will hold up better over the long haul. If you decide you are going to try and coat the existing job, then use varnish instead of polyurethane. But I highly advise against doing this.
Assuming you have prepped the cabinets for a new coat of paint (i.e., you primed it correctly) you can add the glaze directly to the new paint color, at whatever ratio you want, for color and effect. (This saves a step). If you're looking for totallly consistent coverage, then add the glaze after you've just painted, while the paint is still a little wet. In addition to this, I also used a copper metallic paint on one wall, with a glaze added to lighten the intense color of the copper. It really worked well. If you want your glaze w/slight color, then add a touch of color (i.e., the paint) directly to it and save yourself a step.
The car needs to be "prepped" before changing the color. If there are surface imperfections that need to be fixed, then that would also be done. Do you want to just do the outside or do you want the door jams,inside of hood, etc. If the car is in decent shape, it just needs to be sanded, everything masked off that you don't want painted (or need painted) and the painted. It sounds easy but it isn't. Most DIYers would do this over a few weekends. A few weekends prepping than an entire weekend painting.
It lasts about 2 years. If the deck is well prepped.
Improperly prepped surface, and or incompatible material overlays such as water based paint on enamel or vise versa.
It's a big job, but you can use a putty knife to get the loose paint off then 'rough sand' the rest of the ceiling and paint. Be sure the ceiling is even and if there are any dents from the paint peeling then you'll have to plaster those first, then 'rough sand.'

Grab the yellow pages, or do a net search for painters + your city. You can try powdercoating too. Powdercoat gives a strong coat that don't chip easily. Beware that for a good result all the components has to be removed from the frame, and the frame has to be prepped(sanded, media blasted, cleaned...), and this will cost you some. DIY rattle can paint jobs rarely get as strong as professional paint jobs, which means paint that chips and take scratches easily - not what you want for a BMX

Yes, they use what is called a K ball, it is a ball that can be prepped before the game for a bout an hour to get it just right for the kicker depending on the weather or turf, as compared to the other balls that cannot get prepped at all

The informal term is spelled "prepped" (prepared).A similar word is prepaid, meaning paid ahead of time.
The car was not prepped right. Klix- Wax & Grease remover was not use. bad primer or maybe no harder in primer. or Rust under paint. it can go on and on. I seen one car that had rust pin holes that made the paint bubble from water getting behind. I also seen a factor fender that had factory primer get painted and the paint peeled off because it was not prepped.
Replacing them with new ones would be much cheaper than having the rims prepped and rechromed.
