Then heat the part to 250* and apply the black texture again. It's looks beautiful and a lot more rugged than a standard textured finish, but not as ugly as thick bedliner. Just an tip since your in the NE. He quoted me the PSC flares at $400.

I just ordered the Poison Spyder aluminum fender flares, the Bushwacker's were a big mistake, started falling off after just a moderate amount of real off roading with tight passes and natural trail hazards...
