If I would paint them black would it be smarter to use the OEM black color ( my truck is red though) or Krylon because I also want to do my running boards and obviously they should be the same color....

 

Am I the only one that can't see KR-Texas' pics?

I wanted to see how he did this so I can do mine

 

nah i couldnt either. its actually pretty easy tho. cant remember how many, but if i recall correctly there is one nut on either front flair and two per each rear. then carefully remove all the clips. I bought a clip remover for door panels for like 8 bucks at an auto store. there is almost a dozen in the side of the truck and five or so under, on each side. The ones underneath ARE going to break so go out and buy all new ones. Takes some time, but its not so hard....clean em up good, paint em, enjoy...

 

I pmed him about it, but he hasnt been on in a while. Since he painted them on the truck, he just taped them off.

If you want to remove them there is about 4-5 push pin on each flare that you need to cut off. After you remove those there are other fasteners on the inside of the flare. You will need some small needle nose pliers to sqeeze the clips. The front two fenders have 2 bolts near the front that you will need to remove.

 

Ok thanks guys, I will do it here eventually and take some pics and make a thread too. We all know that you gotta have a ton of pictures to have a great thread

 

Sorry for the lack of pictures, but somehow my user profile is pointing at another members blank album and I have lost more than a hundred pictures. I sent an email to Rockpick, (site admin) but they have not been able to restore my missing albums.

I am holding out hope they will be able to restore them in the near future.

Know problem bud, that sucks your pics are gone. I hope they get them back up

 

Aww man that sucks KR, hopefully they can get the pics back.

I got my flares repainted and they are glossy now. Lighting wasnt the greatest :/

 

Damn Yogi! Those look great! You got those painted professionally right? or is that just from the Duplicolor?

 

Yup, my older posts were the duplicolor.

 

So no sanding necessary? Just promoter and duplicolor PTM and clear?
