Fender flare repair

Looking for tips on the best way to have this repair done. I figure I'll remove the flare and take it to an auto body shop to do the job. How receptive would a paint shop be to this small job? Would they charge me for a full gallon of paint if they do not stock it?

 

Take it to your preferred body shop it will need repair and paint.

What about wrapping the flares?

Interesting suggestion. Ill need to find out how the cost of wrapping 4 flares compares to painting just one.

DONT TAKE IT OFF TO FIX IT
....
options......
sand and can spray it yourself
or take to body shop

or just drive that 8 year old rig

use uber when partying

 

After prep and paint, it's prob cheaper to buy 1 new one prepaintd.

put a raptor light over it

 

The OE replacement comes color matched? I figured it would just be primed.

I believe they do not sell pre-painted fender flares but could be wrong

 

These might be close to OEM and come in MGM.

If i were you, I would first try to clear it out with sandpaper, then just paint it with nail paint or whatever they call it.

 

Those look like a good option but this repair needs to be done on budget.

Nail paint?

Look on eBay and salvage yards and find a good used OEM in your paint color.

 

You could paint it with bed liner paint . Or try the touch up.

 

If you paint it yourself you have to go into it knowing the paint may not match. Like @t0p_d0g suggested looking at salvage yard is a good option or like @Rivermaniac suggeted paint them all with bed liner. I personally, would either leave it the way it is or swing by a local paint shop and see what it would cost for them to fix it.

 

Just a FYI, the fenders are textured, so any repair that is done to them will result in a small very smooth patch surrounded by texture.

 

I got into a similar situation with bumper covers on a Dodge truck when I was short on money. They were also textured. I ended up sanding the damaged part, then sanding all of the bumper covers to be about the same, ahem, texture as the, ahem, repaired area. Then I bought a can of Rustoleum plastic adhesion promoter from Amazon, and a couple of spray cans of SEM bumper black from an auto body supply store. SEM also sells adhesion promoter. It was a good five foot repair.

Yup, I understand that your fender flares match the body paint. If you paint all four, the truck will look symmetrical if not OEM.
