Painting Squatch flares

[Bronc-itis]

I’m wondering if anyone else will be painting their Sasquatch flares. I have a buddy with a body shop. So it wouldn’t be too expensive.
but I’m concerned that the flares might not hold paint. The textured plastic has a higher oil content that makes painting and wrapping a pain in the ass.

Colored Line-X?

Thought about that. But I don’t want anything textured. And I am hesitant to add yet another shade of gray to the carbon gray and MIC gray combo

The thought was to have my buddy shoot them in carbon gray then wrap in PPF. More than likely use PPF for the hood and fenders too.

Outer Banks Sasquatch still doesn't come with the painted flares, it gets the wider unpainted MIC flares just like all the other models.

I called auto painters too. They all said paint will not stick to them and wrap the same thing. We have to wait for aftermarket paintable ones. Ford has some but look ugly.

I actually talked to my buddy that owns the body shop. He says he has ways of getting the paint to stick. He did say he would have to add a lot of flex additive to keep it from cracking on the softer plastic.

Applying adhesion promoter migh do the trick.

Just get the part number for the regular OB flares and paint them whatever color you want.

This is what is used to paint plastic bumpers first, then paint;
