    Since this is the most recent paint code thread I can find 3rd Gen ....

    Anyone happen to know if the door jamb tells the fender flare color
    If so I need the code for the non body color flares like the OR has

    But you want the non color fender flare paint code? cause there is no paint code for off road fender flares, its just bare plastic, no paint on them.

    Plastidip black would be a close match to the bare unpainted black plastic OR fender flares.

    So basically the color is just molded color no paint at all

    You could try to strip the paint from yours, this stuff says its designed for plastic car parts and removing the paint from them.

    Im just not sure if the end result would be a perfect clean black part that you would want to have. I think there is also a fender flare trade thread around here somewhere.

    In the process now of making it mine.
    Im stilling the honeymoon phase now. But I told the dealer it better be a show truck when I take delivery. If I'm paying north of $40k, damnit, I want to be the one to put in the dents and scratches. When I buy a dozen eggs, I don't want one of em cracked when I pay for it.

    OP, I'd go to the dealer if you like them. You paid enough for the truck, it's got a warranty for a reason. Nobody wants to break factory paint, but if it wasn't right from the factory, I'd make em make it right. That's just me though.
