TITE SILVER FLARES OR STRIP PAINT
 
So my flares are in titanium silver - as well as the running board fender - i don't want to take off the running board fender thingy (the new fender 'thingy' part is also silver). But i'm thinking the titanium fenders in front and rear might look good.. thoughts??

If not - i'd want them to be black again - how can i strip the paint from the flares if i want it black plastic again?

SORRY FOR CALLING IT A THINGY BUT I CANT REMEMBER THE TECH TERM LOL

ARE YOU HAPPY MICHELLE??????

HEY MRBMWX5 I KNOW YOU KNOW THE ANSWER.. C'MON TECH SUPPORT!!

yeah - i was thinking the same thing. this person had all the black parts painted black.. thats why the fenders are silver. what can i use to strip the paint? is it easy as paint thinner?

I can't remember the name but they have something at autozone and the like that you can spray on, let it sit for a few minutes and brush the paint off. It's cheap so let's just hope our ex-girl friends don't find out about it.

Repaint matte plastic black? Not sure if that's possible. I want it to not be painted. have the regular look.

I bought the paint remover - works great, started on the running board attachment - will start on the flares.

Are the RB fenders easy to remove and replace?
