vinyl wrap fender flares

Hey everyone so my question is pretty much what the title says i installed some bushwacker fender flares on my truck not to long ago but thinking of changing it up a bit i want to vinyl wrap the gold trim on my truck to a matte black has anyone or know if its possible to vinyl wrap the fender flares they have a lot of crevices.


Thanks

Are they the kind with the fake rivets? I bet it could be done, it would just be a PITA. I like the idea though. Vinyl is really stretchy and pliable and I've seen videos of pros fitting it on some pretty crazy stuff.

I have no doubt it could be done, but how long it would hold up would be the question. You may be better off wrapping the parts of the truck that need it and paying the extra to get the flares painted.

Could just plastidip everything instead of wrapping it too. I'd want it wrapped, but it's an option. Maybe PD just the flares.

Plasti dip the flares. If a rock or a chip hits the vinyl...all it needs is a little air bubble and its redo again. Trust...Ive seen cars redo hoods in one week of doing the whole car.

Sorry for the long delay. Yes they have the fake rivets .

And @ 808tritonxl I hear what your saying cause the vinyl is exspensive to get done I was getting quotes for 20$ sq ft. But my issue is how long will the plasti dip last

Plastidip is pretty durable for what it is, and both that and vinyl and going to get torn up by rocks. And PD can be redone really quickly and/or touched up
