Default Fender flares rhino-lined

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.

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.

@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.
