Tire Flares

Im planning on Herculing my tire fender/flares tomorrow! Can any tell me if i have the steps wrong?
1. Sand the flare down
2. Rub it down with paint thiner to get all the excess dust and dirt off
3. Just paint the liner on the flares
4. let it dry
5. reinstall

If you could tell me if im doing it right or not? Thanks
do i spray any clear coats of anything on it so it doesnt fade?

 

You've got the right procedure...some people like the faded look of the Fender Flare (me ), but after your done and you don't want it to fade you could spray them down with some hammered black paint.

 

If i dont want them to fade what do i spray on there?

 

I would use that 303 aerospace protectant. ^^^

 

what type of sand paper should i sand them down with?? any special kind?

 

and paint thinner or something else?

would this work just as good as herculiner??

 

i taped mine off, and painted them with krylon for plastic, hasn't chipped or faded yet, no need to apply back to black every week.


use a sheet to cover up everything so over spray is limited/non existent
