Default Giving stock fender flares a rugged look.

My stock fender flares on the driver side were in bad condition. (paint chipped off and deep scratches) Because the person I bought the Blazer off ran it out of gas, and rubbed it against a bridge to bring it to a complete stop.

I took all the fender flares off, sanded them completely down, and started with this instead of using truck bed-liner.

First coat:

Once the second coat is dry, I'll add the gloss black paint. Then the clear coat will be applied. This particular paint looks to hold up extremely good. Very strong and aggressive looking.

Pleased with the turn-out so far.

Great for that. Non slip, and very durable. Second coat is dry, and rock solid. Very pleased with this product. There isn't much to a tin of it but it's more than what I exspected.

Tomorrow I'll gloss it all over with black so that all the small rock particles are one color and than clear coat for extra strength.
