Painting Fender Flares?

[hawkeyez71]

Went to the local pull a part to get a grill guard and found a truck with a set of fender flares that matched the color of my truck almost perfect! Having never pulled them off before I had no idea that they were bolted on the back side and couldn't get them off. Now to my question I ended up getting a mismatched set that they had sitting around. Where is a good place to get paint to match and how should I prep. them? I also heard they are a real pain to paint.

Thanks in advance!

not sure on paint because i painted mine black but you can sorta pry them and peel them off that metal pieace and then when you put them on your truck use double sided tape thats what i did

I would assume scuff them up good and then shoot them with like a plastic adhesion promoter before you paint them and then paint them normally with light coats letting them dry good between coats then use like a 3m double sided tape or a automotive adhesive..... prep the surface you are sticking them too really well and clean it good an make sure both surfaces are warm
