flare painting
« on: August 16, 2009, 08:46:50 AM »
so i painted my fender flares yesterday and was nervouse about how it would look because i googled it and didnt find one jeep that had the flares a diffrent color from the body or that were still not black.
i sanded them did the whole five yards primer, everything i did them on the body and this is how it turned out. i love it and its a nice cheap way to change your jeep.

I think it looks pretty slick.  8) What kind of paint did you use? Should do the hard top too  :)

if you do the roll bar it'd look cool.  i really think the hardtop in the same colour would look super cool too........... different, and standoutish, but well done = kickass in my book
