Painting fenders and grill

[trayack]

Just paid $350 to have my fender flares painted body color and cleared. Then used the duplicolor version of plastidip on the factory bumpers and skid plate.

Can you explain how you did the flares? I have heard that it doesn't hold up. Did you remove the flares to dip them?

Nope. Right on the truck. It's all in the prep work. There's probably a full can of black and half a can of clear dip on each fender.

We charge 100.00 per flare (depending on color) including R&I. Molten Orange, or Race Red is 150.00 per flare. Grill is 200.00.

Wow that sounds cheap, considering the work I hear you do is impressive

I just got back from the bodyshop, paid $260 including tax for front grille and 4 fenders.

The lights look great, you barely notice them, the ones on the side.

Can you post some profiles? Still thinking about color matching with lots of black stickers to offset.

Thank you.

Thanks. The cheap enamel paint isn't holding up so well, So I'll plastidip it white before I leave hopefully.

Will do. I may take my stickers off to get a cleaner look for awhile so I wanna take some good pics before I do that.

Thanks for the information, I'm going to see what a local shop will charge to paint the flares satin black and if the price is crazy I will go this route.

The plasti dip won't really hood up to offroading. That's what you've read. On street driving is ok. Also, some mud may stain the dip, making it hard to scrub off.

Blah! Really? I don't think the matching white flars looks good add an off-road truck. But add you know my opinion doesn't mean Jack shit. Lol....
