Painted mud flaps ?

Bleach2K9 · 03-26-2009, 07:14 PM

Has anyone painted their mudflaps to color match the body ? I'd be interested in seeing a 2dr TW coupe ...

is there a DIY link to this?

sanding? priming? where do you get matching hnda paint?

Thanks, i might be interested in doing this!

Good idea,as long as you can get the paint to match.

I've got painted ones on my RR sedan. Considered DIY, but my local paint shop quoted $50 for the job (both in & outside were painted), so I decided DIY wasn't worth the hassle.

***qwerty :)*** · 03-26-2009, 08:17 PM

can you tell me the steps you did and what type of paint and how you matched it to your honda paint? im NHBP, do you think an autoparts store would be able to match a black to my NHBP?

thanks QWERTY

I painted my mud flaps a few weeks ago. Its kind of a pain in the ass to get the flaps off if you leave the tires on. What i did to paint them is just clean them up real good give it a light sand with 100 grit paper, using a higher grit would probably a better choice. Then i just sprayed 3 coats on and let it dry a few days and put them back on. I got the paint at Napa for about 30 bucks with a little plastic spray gun.
