I wouldn't recommend it. If you want it to match your paint color the only true way to do that is to have it professionally painted.

Here is my original post on how I painted mine on my truck. They are holding up surprisingly well, since I did not use adhesion promoter. Several people thought they would not last, but they still look the same as when I first did them about 4 months ago.

PTM FX4 Fender Flairs (Painted on Truck) PICs

If I do them again, I will use the Bulldog adhesion promoter which is recommended by others on this forum.

I painted my handle covers with the duplicolor paint and they matched up fine. I would definitely recommend adhesion promoter anytime you paint plastic. LOL I just realized this thread started a month ago. Probably got it done by now?
