Fender Flare Repair?

Noticed the anti skid wintery roads have taken a toll on my fender flares.
PennDot likes to put down metric shit tons of anti skid on these roads

Anyone know of any way to smooth out the tiny dimples and remove the gray?

Was thinkin plasti dip or full replacement someday. Open to ideas.

 

sanding it maybe? Idk a lot about that type of stuff

 

I was thinking that but maybe it would make the grey worse. Guess i could always dip it afterwards.

 

Sand and a repaint is your best bet. Sanding is the only way to remove the imperfections. However sanding will more than likely cause discoloration. Maybe try a trim restoration product at that point. But if your gonna go through all that you might as well pull the flares off and repaint with a mat black or color of your choice.

 

TRD OR and TRD Pro fender flares were made to take a beating but the SR5, TRD Sport, Limited fender flares are color matched and have a protective film so if you don't need the cheaper plastic thats used for the OR/Pro fender flares, I would upgrade to the color-matched flares.
Color-matched flares are made of a stronger material^

 

While I believe thats true but I prefer the black fenders

 

same, I love the TRD OR/Pro flares but they aren't cheap lol

 

Dont about how to remove the dimples short of repainting, but this stuff works great for getting rid of the grey. Lasts a long time between applications too.

 

Great. Thanks. Wanted to get something better than armor all.

 

Yeah I think this stuff is much better than armor all, definitely worth a try if you can locate some

 

I found it on Amazon just now for $7.44 12oz

 

A Heat gun will take the gray back to black and will probably slightly smooth it out along the way. It’s the only thing I would do.

 

Don’t have a suggestion to repair but do you have mud flaps? I’ve never seen any debris that high on mine

 

Yea I have mud flaps. Also had mud flaps on my 2012 which did the same to my paint cause it had the long bed.
