Fender flares rhino-lined
 
1 Attachment(s)
I am getting my fender flares done this weekend for $150. They are coming to my house, doing all prep work and giving me a warranty. Is there anything I should be wary of? To me they are a huge eye sore and I feel so much better having a professinal do them. Here is a pic of what I have now and Saturday I will follow up with the finished product.

you should try a $2.00 bottle of black liquid shoe polish first, you would be surprised what 2-3 coats does.

Finally... Someone did it. Look at my Album. Kiwi Black liquid shoe polish with wedge foam applicator. 3 coats will last you 6 months with occasional touch up. All for under $5.00. Water beads off.. No tape, wrap or spraying. Put the money towards something more meaningful like armor.

Those of you that used Kiwi....did you sand first to get rid of the pits?

I like the Kiwi shoe polish idea but, I want permanent fix. I am also getting the grill done and the lftgate in the rear done too.

I sanded and then used a Rustoleum texture (back). Once you have the grain finish the Kiwi can be used later.

I used Dupli-Color Bed Armor. No sanding required and mine were pitted bad. We spent a half hour sanding the first one and it looks no different than the others we didn't sand.

$20 in paint and a couple of hours.

Way too many... well, at least for my buddy Royce.

@nychaze- it looks great and I considered doing it myself but, I know the prep is the most important part from what I have read lately in getting this done. I can change my oil, brakes and do most work with a manual but, paint, body work and bed liner I have zero experience with.
