Wrapping Fender Flares?

[Keith88]

So... stuff getting done to the truck this week. One of the things was to wrap the fender flares to match body of the truck... Have wraps come far along enough that it can withstand the odd rock here n there or should I just dish out for having them painted?

Thanks for letting me ask my stupid question...

The wrap will won’t chip like paint but it will, over time, show dings and what not from rocks. Also keep in mind, wrap is meant to be temporary. Meaning it needs to be replaced every few years, it will eventually dry out. The upside about wrapping the fender flares is, you can have them re-wrapped once they become beat up rather than repainted and worrying about matching new paint to old paint.

Wraps will be a lot more durable than paint in terms of chips etc.. What color is your truck?

I inquired about wrapping my flares. It was highly discouraged by two outfits. So I ended up paint matching my AMB and then PPF'd. I also paint matched the front and rear bumpers....and it looks fantastic, in my opinion.

Whatever you do, don’t wrap the flares to color match the paint, if you do that, you might as well put on some 24s next.

Guess I need to look for some 24s.

You probably should have purchased an Escalade, lowered it, and put on some wheels that look like they belong to a Biden supporter.

You're probably right. May have gotten a better quality truck out of it, too.

Do freak out. I’m having them painted along with the bumpers with ppf. This is what I’m after. But with these 17” methods.
