Painting Bushwackers for my '04

What sort of place would I look for to get a set of Bushwackers painted to match my factory silver? Might it be easier (or possible?) to get them purchased already painted?

I would shop around and try to find them cheap on the internet.(Ebay, Moss, etc) Then I would find a good paint shop to paint them up for you. Just don't take them to the dealer, their going to charge you an arm and leg.

Ha ha....you won't be finding any "cheap" anywhere. Fender flares are outrageous. From reading the posts on here where people have purchased flares off ebay for $100-250, they all are saying that they were junky flares and now they're all trying to buy a good set, so that = waste of $ buying off ebay or somewhere like that unless you get a name brand. Also, a consideration is the kind of material that the flares you are buying are made out of. They need to be durable over time.

May want to try to paint them yourself! I painted mine to match my Arizona Beige. I bought one can of Bulldog ( plastic prep spray to get the plastic to accept paint) one can of arizona beige mixed at a paint shop, and one can of clear. Cost $70 for all and came out real good, unfortunatly it was on the cheap $100 flares off of e bay and the 3m tape is starting to come off.

Well I appreciate you pointing those out! If they're $399 already painted, that ends up being cheaper than the Bushwackers and I think I like this style better anyway.
