I apologize if I missed this on my searches. I have a squatched OBX being built(God willing) in December.

My plan was to have the squatch flares painted VB. Are these not paintable at all? I thought I saw some members who had them done in my travels previously but I can’t find them. Ive seen oem paintable OBX flares, but I want the increased protection of the larger squatch flares to cover the 35s. Thanks

Those are OBX flares, so not as wide as the Sasquatch ones. Many people like the 'poke' of the thinner flares on the 'Squatch tires. Prepare for more stones to be thrown against the sides.
Yes I mentioned this in my original post. OBX flares not an option. I swear I saw a post where someone painted their squatch flares but I must have been mistaken

Is there a difference in what material the squatch and OBX flares are made of?

Any decent body shop can paint them. I think that's how I'm leaning.

That looks great. Those are squatch flares? If you don’t mind me asking what did they charge for painting flares?

So because they are textured, do you prep the surface to make it smooth? Or are the flares still textures even tho painted?(can’t tell from pics)

Nice to see the mud flaps on the front. Have these helped keeping the flying stones down ?
not had it out since I put the flaps on had the flares off to paint but the flaps are very well built and should do the job not wanting all the stones and dirt down the side of my bronco
