Painting Fender Flares
Anyone ever painted their fender flares? I have all white ones and i like the way the fx4s have em. Think itd go better with my truck also. Been searching the junker for a good year now and never ever seen one 4x4 ranger in it. Anyone have a clue how to do it nicely? Sand + paint? Thanks!

Remove flares, scuff the paint with some 400grit since they're painted(220g if textured) so the primer or adhesion promoter has something to stick to, spray on Dupli-Color Adhesion Promotor(basically clear primer, 3 coats), squirt on the Dupli-Color Truck Bed Coating in a can. You may or may not have to have a base coat of black just to get the color right first.
Here's pics of my Dupli-Color Truck Bed Coating (bedliner in a can) on my flares, valence, and bumper. If prepped like I said above, you shouldn't have any chipping issues. I only have chipping issues in the areas where I skimped on the prepwork.....and this is about 3 years after doing them.

Anywhere that carries Dupli-Color products probably carries it or can get it for you. O'Reilly's/Schucks/Checker/Kragen stocks it.
Roll-on bedliner is far far too rough IMO. That washmit will be caught on the pricklys. I liked the Duplicolor stuff because it's rough, yet very smooth and washable. Little tricky figuring out how to spray it, but once you get the hang of it, you got it.
