A few days ago I posted a whole story on Instagram about my Fender Flare repair and got so many requests to post more information that I did! Here it is!<\/p>\n
If you use your rig, it is going to get scratched and scuffed. It comes with the territory! My fender flares finally took as much as I wanted them to take, and it was time to repair them – you know, so I could scratch them all up again! I did the job in a few hours, and they came out great!<\/p>\n
The video above is the original IG story, and the article below gives a few tips and tricks for repairing your own fender flares after the probable mishaps on the trail.<\/p>\n
Here are a few “pro tips after doing this once myself:<\/p>\n
The “Rubber Eraser Wheel” listed below is supposed to make very short work of the adhesive residue left by the fenders after removal. Probably much easier than the adhesive spray remover.
\nDon’t forget the “Welting” included below. This was key to achieving a factory look finish.
\nHi hit the fender flares with 80, 300, and 600 grit sand paper to “shape” them in the case of deep scuffs. Remember, since your final finish is going to be rough, not smooth, it does not have to be scratch-free, just close.
\nAfter you spray your flare with with the bed armor, wait a few minutes, then come and pat the whole thing down with paper towels to make the finish uniform, and to remove any drips. Don’t wait too long, or you will pull off the bed armor.<\/p>\n
If you have any questions, let me know in the comments or just start a conversation with me in the forums @michael!<\/p>\n
Thanks for reading, I hope it is helpful!
\nHere are the supplies I used!<\/p>\n
