Looking to paint my stock fender flares. Any one done this? Any tips?

I really want to color match my fender flares and bumpers to somewhat match my truck. Any advice on how to get the paint to stick to the plastic? Or anyone had any experience trying to do this?

 

Did you do a tacomaworld or Google search?
I found these real easy, but I'm sure if you spend the time doing the research you can find threads that fit your exact situation.

Neither one of those gave a how to, they really just debated whether they should or not

 

Refer to second part of my post

 

Dip them

 

First page of my build thread I've got some pics of when I did mine... It's been a while (I think I did it in 2013), but from what I remember, it was a major pain masking them off. If I was to do it over again I'd just take them off the truck to paint. The paint held up well for a few years, but in recent months it has begun to peel and fade at the top of the flares where the sunlight is the harshest.

Those look good I think I'm going to give it a try

 

i wrapped mine in vinyl and they turned out good

 

Looks good how hard was the process? And where did you get the vinyl?

 

My brother in law did the most of it but with some practice and a few YouTube videos I'm sure you could do it. I did the front grill in red. You need a full sheet and could get a roll from a graphic design shop.

 

Alright sweet thanks that looks like it may hold up Better than paint over time
