I have a Stone White JK and chopped my fenders a few weeks ago. I also chopped the wheel well liners and reinstalled them. However there is some white paint that shows all the way around the wheel well just below the fenders back and front. I'm thinking that painting that black is the way to go but don't know where to start. Do I spray flat black, bedliner, gloss black...?
Do I sand down the paint or just scuff it up?

Anybody have any tips for this?

Go to the auto parts store buy some paint prep spray....it is a type of solvent cleaner. Clean the wheel wells according to can directions then spray with rubberized undercoating to cut down on road noise and the rubber will bounce the stone off instead of chipping regular spray paint.

 

Just go to town on it using flat black. If you want, use a primer first, then the spray. I chose flat so it won't stand out. It's holding up well. Plus, if it ever chips, spray it again.

 

I used 3m rubberized spray on undercoating in a can. Scuffed up the surface and it is holding very well.

I painted mine 1.5 years ago.. Used textured black spray, sanded the original paint with 250 grit just to get rid ofthe shine before I painted. It still looks like the day I did it

 

make sure they are sanded.....I was going to use duplicolor bedliner on mine, but went with getting them LineX'd.....no regrets at all!!!!

Check out these two pics....I don't have a good one of the rear wells....but it is Linex'd under the plastic fender covering the pinch seam.....

PM me if you want a better pic......I can prolly get it posted here either tonight or tomorrow.....

That jeep is def coming along nicely, gonna check out this rubberized spray sounds like a good idea.
