Default Finding Fenders

I love the painted fenders and want something besides stock so Does anyone know a spot where I could get skinny fenders or fender flares already painted? Or am I going to have to do it myself?
Thank you!

you can buy them pre painted or powdercoated but the price goes up and it might not be a well done paint job. i know some powdercoats chip real easy from certain companies. your better off getting them bare and painting yourself or out sourcing a garage that can paint them for you.

Which companies have powdercoat issues? You can PM me if you don't want to share with everyone. I'm looking to buy some flares and would be pretty upset if the finish came off.

If it were me I would purchase them raw unpainted. Take them to a powdercoating company and have them done. Years ago I had purchased some parts from a manufacturer that were "powdercoated". They made nice suspension parts but coating did not hold up well. I had some friends that installed parts and eventually coating came off and parts started to rust. When I purchased my parts I had a local company burn off coating and recoat with their powdercoating. Loved it, held up very well, never chipped or flaked off. The parts were the only thing left shiny on my Bronco.

I would trade my stock black (plastic) fender flares for your painted fender flares if that's what you are looking to do...
