Painting Stock Fender Flares...
Hey,
I was wanting to paint my stock fender flares that came on my 99 Ranger 4x4. I dont like the cheap look of the gray plastic against my black truck. Can I paint them myself without making them look completely horrid? If so, what steps should I take go about doing this. Also, what paint and clear coat would you reccomend.
Thanks,
Chris

damn, missed this one...
with the right prep and paint, you can do it yourself...
jsut envolves sanding, primering, painting, and clearing (with plenty of sanding inbetween)
Ive been done, and usually with good results. also you can take them to a painter if you are worried about painting them yourself

I don't have any pics of the flares, but just posted some pics in the picture forum, i'm going to take some with the paint job, sorry. I did not primer or clear coat because the paint is for plastic and says it "bonds" to it. I did clean them pretty good with a rough nylon brush and hot water. It's still good, no chips, even after spinning some tires in a gravel patch when pulling my friends boat out the other day. I'll post some pics soon. Any other questons?

It's called Krylon Fusion. I sprayed about 2 coats on, i would spray one then the next and keep going around till they looked good and seemed like enough. Here's the Krylon site for info on the paint: http://krylon.com/main/product_templ...roduct_details
