Do replacement Gen 2 fender flares come painted?

[Oldfart]

Something got dripped on mine while it was at the dealer and screwed it up a bit. There's a pencil diameter slightly dished out black spot where something ate into the finish. Very strange, can't find anything else, just one spot. I'm trying to decide between repaint or replacement. If they come painted, I would tell the dealer to get me a new one. I added a little eye candy for you all. Thanks bit ches!

I hear that goats will eat most anything. Are you sure that one of the girls hasn't been chewing on your fender? Perhaps while you were, erm, ah, well, ...? Maybe cornering them in the garage isn't as good an idea as it seemed.

I’m feeling a little sheepish telling you this but pretty sure they come unpainted. Ewe have to get them to paint the fenders.

I do not know. Since they are plastic I think they would?? Don't quote me on that (but you can quote me on the FRF to reply to me

I do know; they come unpainted.

Are they the same color underneath? I've got a few scratches that go through. The one that chipped a path through the paint looks the same underneath, but maybe I only took off one layer. The gouges look lighter in the groove, but that's normal for plastic. What color are they without paint?

Thanks, I thought I read somewhere they came unpainted, but I wasn't at all sure. I'm guessing it's black underneath the Magnetic paint, because the spot where the paint got eaten off looks black.

Definitely a goat bite. Better on a fender than on Mr Happy.

I went out and looked at mine and I think you’re right. It does look darker underneath.

I guess I'll get it repainted then. The dealer was REALLY good about it. I showed it to the service manager, he said, "Oh shit", we'll send it to the body shop we use. There was also a small scratch on the side of the center console surround. He took a picture of the mark and said no problem, we'll order you a new one. It was nice they owned it immediately and took care of it.

Obviously, I would have preferred no marks on it, but at least it's stuff that can be fixed easily. My detail shop already said they would re-do the ceramic coat on the flare for free.

They’re a flat black-ish colo(u)r under the trim colo(u)r. Some maroon tried to insert themselves into a long turn lane in front of me. I made it abundantly clear, they would need to wait for at least me. They did, but unfortunately for them, Lucille took umbrage at their peasant car intruding on her personal space so her rear tire tore their front bumper right off that peasant car as they were hanging their nose in our lane. She ended up with 4 fender scuffs and a couple tire marks. Selfish @$$hole lost the front bumper and took the fault for the collision.
