OEM Fender Flares
Hello All,

On my 2005 midnight blue F150 super crew I have OEM fender flares that were once black but now fading and turning gray. Is there anything I can do to bring back the blackness to them?

Thanks,
Andy

1. Try some Black Wow.

2. Not good enough? Try some Showroom New.

3. When all else fails, paint them with Krylon Fusion.

There are any number of products out there thet will temporarily make your faded flares look much better. Several have been mentiond by glc and others. Unfortunately, the effect will be temporary. Without dye or paint, the faded look will eventually come back. Sorry to bring you the truth.

Showroom New is a dye.

Your truck must be a FX4. I have the same problem and outside of painting them I just use armor all.
