Idea for Mudflaps

Hey guys.. I want to keep on my stock mudflaps, but it bothers me that they have the White "4x4" on them.. i mean, i like the 4x4, but i was curious if anybody has spraybombed them with plastidip or anything, (and if so, how durable).. i just want to get rid of the white..

i contemplated trying to paint them black with a paint pen, or use GoofOff to remove the white paint, but figured i would check here to see if anybody has OCD like me with these.. lol

 

try painting them.

if that fails get a set of Husky's. they're less than $50 for the rear set. OEM from the dealer will run you over $80 for ea flap.
Husky's are custom fit to you year/make/model and they're easy to install.

 

interesting.. i will look them up.. thanks bud.. i wonder if they are thinner, because mine rub a tiny bit

anybody have any other ideas with their stock ones? just for arguements sake, hehe

 

rally armor flaps, relatively cheap and a lot more flexible than the stock ones

 

they're the exact same as the OEM. just a little shorter.

 

Duplicolor trim paint usually matches the OE plastic on most manufacturers.

 

took your advice and tried the Huskys.. i like them! pretty much the same length as the rears, only doesnt have the "4x4".. Me Likey!

thanks for the advice!

 

I removed the white from mine. I used white wall tire cleaner (pretty corrosive stuff) an a stiff bristled, white wall cleaning brush and brushed away, the white chunked off like paint. I'll look for pictures and post what i find in an edit.

Also, i didn't want huskys or weathertechs because they are so much more stiff than stock.

 

i was contemplating doing the same thing.. wish you said that sooner, but i am still happy overall, hehe.. id definitely like to see a picture tho!

 

Picture up friend! (I don't know how to attach them properly from my ipod touch) Took a while to find one that didn't have mud all over the bottom hehe

 

Try some lacquer thinner. It takes paint off of anything I don't want it to.

 

Brake clean will take the paint off easily.

 

my white came off just from washing, scotchbrite pad took off the remaining.
