PAINTING INSTRUCTIONS –
Prior to painting, clean all surfaces to be painted using clean water and a mild detergent, do not use lacquer thinner or
any solvent based products. Wipe completely dry. Best results will be achieved by wiping the areas to be painted with a
tack rag just prior to painting. Most automotive paints can be applied directly to the Fender Flares, however some may
require a primer (check paint manufacturer specifications). Good adhesion will be achieved without sanding. Select a
paint (and primer if necessary) that is suitable for rigid plastics PMMA (Acrylic). If using a paint system that requires
baking, do not expose the product to temperatures above 70°C (158°F). Do not fit the extrusion or any of the hardware
to the Fender Flares until the paint is completely dry.
Please read instructions entirely before installing this product.
