My truck was born to wear 4x4 flares!!

[Rev_D21]

I have been searching for a couple years for a good complete set of OEM flares. Took me a while as most I checked out were damaged beyond repair. If I came across one good one I'd save it. I cleaned and painted the rears last week. I got them test fitted last night. They look awesome! They complete the truck for me looks-wise. Got to fit them up a little better and then it's time to work on the front. I didn't want to open pandoras box of body work it just sort of sprung up on me. I have a set of fronts but they need a little love before I hang them. I'm hoping I might score a better set at the JY one of these days.

On to the pics!

Looks good. Clean truck man.

VERY cool.

I can't wait to see them all on. Should have come like that from the factory!

Make sure you remove them for cleaning several times a year.
Dirt then rust will result.
How did you fasten them ?
Nissan used black stainless screws with plastic mounts.

Color me green with envy.

Man those look good how far out do they go, would hide the wider wheels i want to add on to my HB.

[Rev_D21]

They add about 2 inches width to the truck so yes you could hide wider tires.

Cool I will start looking at local yards for them, I want to up the wheels to 15's but most aftermarket wheels stick out about 1-2 inches and I hate that look, but if the flares cover it that would be great. Thanks for the heads up on those, I assume I will only find some on pathy or 4x4. Black truck makes it easy though, they will match and not even look out of place.

Hey I'm curious as to how you paint them? I'm assuming with a spray gun, it sucks cuz I would want to know how to paint!!

[RT22]

if they are plastic and flexible as I am almost 100% sure they are you must use a paint made for plastic so it has flex agent and will not crack when they flex. get some duplicolor paint for plastic and some primer/setup for plastic. Go to duplicolor website they have articles on how to prep and paint plastic so it sticks well. If you get a decent used pair a good cleaning and some plastic dressing will make them shine, unless you are trying to color match them then paint will be used.

[Rev_D21]

I used Rustoleum satin paint. I don't see these doing much flexing honestly.

[RT22]

Not really but if you lean into them or some minor flex could crack but plastic paint is as cheap as any other in a can and will stick real good. I was thinking more of leaning into them or just the movement from heat as plastic will expand and contract a bit in the heat. Mainly when washing you can make em flex a bit.
