Default Grafited fenders
Woke up to find some kids had spray painted all over my fenders and hood. Got the paint off the hood easy enough but my poor fenders are still painted. Any idea on how to get it off? Tried nail polish and that only did so much. Thanks

If they are textured fenders, I'd just paint over them with black Krylon paint.

Try mineral spirits. Test it in another area first to make sure it won't change the color of the plastic. If that doesn't work I'd take them off and spray them.

Call insurance, have them cut you a check, then upgrade to painted flares or aftermarkets..

Get after markets. I wouldn't consider painted fenders an upgrade.
