I can get a set of the factory style flares for my truck for $50 off of a friend who sold his truck and never put them on. My truck is two tone silver and I was thinking about painting them with the spray touhup paint and then clear. I really don't want to pay a ton of money for a shop to spray them. Anyone have any thoughts? Anyone attempt this before??

I PTM my stock flares.... You have to sand down the textured surface if you want a nice gloss finish

I am getting new ones and will not be keeping my old ones which are oem like painted silver already. They have a few touch up spots but are the color your looking for so if your interested in mine. You can see pictures from my previous posts. Pm me if you want

Left mine black,figured they match the mirrors and the rest of the black textured trim.....you can order them in smooth if you are going to paint them.

dont want to ask a question on ur thread, but where could i find sum oem flares? seen a few on ebay and they seem pretty pricy. and how are they installed if my truck didnt come with flares?

That's the twin to mine haha. I think the set my friend has is the textured so I'd have some sanding to do if I went that route. However I won't be doing that anytime soon now that I have a new issue with my lights getting dim and the truck stalling out going down the road

You have to drill holes on the inside lip of the fender then use some nylon push rivets to secure them. They don't need the fasteners that go around the outside of the fender to hold the in place....

oh ok. i think ill just get the bigger fender flares then instead of the oem's since its pricy anyway
