Default Fenders?

Has anyone tried this on their fenders?

I sure would like to try the color match on my stock black fenders. The black would probably even be better than having to use the mothers all the time.

I have been searching around to see if anyone color matched their fenders. I am spraying my tub this weekend, but going with a gray to flow with the interior better. If all goes well, might order another kit to do the wheel wells, fenders, hinges, bumpers...hell, might as well do the whole Jeep

OK, so I am prepping for my spray on Monday or Tuesday...how do you remove the trim on the b-pillar from around the seat belts? I wasn't trying to break anything so I just left it alone for the night. The rest was good to go, lol.

Very careful I polled straight out from the pillar. I took my time and went slow. I had to cut 2 of the one way plastic pins on the door sill.

Guy from TP Tools stated the U-POL Raptor isn't rated to adhere to plastic (fender flares)...

I used one of those trim plug removal tools and didn't have too much trouble with it. I wouldn't try to get in a hurry, of course, but I think it only took about 5 minutes to do both sides.

About to spray my last coat. And I second the bond-less paint, luckily the auto paint store knew more about it then I did. But I got the tintable and a charcoal gray paint to help flow with the interior. First coat was DARK, almost black. Second coat was a shade lighter with less paint mixed in. My third, and last, will be hopefully a shade lighter to get it where I want. Will post pics once everything is done.
