Has anyone bought the Ford mud flaps and painted them to match the body color?

I have the white sand tri coat metallic and I don't like the way the black looks on the white.

Thanks,

I was in the same situation with my white truck. There was a recent thread on this where someone did paint them white. I did not think I'd like the black mud flaps, but after installin them, I kind of like it.

 

imho i dont think mudflaps are the kind of thing you want to stand out. black works for me.

 

Check this thread.

How is the Krylon holding up? How long have you had yours painted?

I to live in Ontario, 30 minutes north of you in Orangeville. Same colour F150. I have not installed the flaps yet, contemplating painting first but I am concerned about flaking paint.

Mine have been painted about 3 weeks now. No flaking yet, but all its done has rained for the last 3 weeks- no snow or mud yet. The Krylon is a plastic specific paint, so it should hold up. Just prep the plastic as per the destructions- clean with paint thinner, let dry, paint in light coats.

I have the platinum tri-coat, or, as the invoice says, white chocolate. Krylon makes an off-white colour that is a close match. Do not use the white Krylon if yours is the same colour as mine- the paint is too white to match. You can do black if you want- a nice gloss black would look great too!



(any snow in Orangeville yet? we should go mudding some time. I am about 20 minutes south of you )
