Hey guys, I am in need of a set of front and rear fender flares (the plastic pieces that go on outside edge of the fenders and rear panels). Does anyone have a set they want to sell? Thanks atriot:
The original matte finish flares can be very hard to find and expensive. I have seen reasonable ones on ebay.co.uk. Here in the States, I've seen people asking $300-$400 for a set. That's crazy.
If you're still looking for a set, email me at sales@safarirover.com. The matte finished ones are pretty difficult to come by, but I've been able to make the glossy/smooth flares look very similar with common paint.
Here's a set of glossy flares that I painted on a 110 I recently built. Excuse the poor quality picture.
I hit the flares with 180-grit for starters to give the paint a nice surface to adhere to. I can't recall the paint name, and I'm away from the shop until Monday, but Advance Auto Parts stocks it. It comes in a tall blue can and is a bumper/bedliner type spray which gives the fenders a nice textured finish. I then follow up with a semi-gloss black trim paint (also found at AAP).
I'll post up again on Monday with the product names.
