black jeep flares loking more like like light grey

Are your Jeep flares loosing their luster? Black looks more like washed-up gray?

There’s a really easy fix for that. It’s called Krylon Fusion paint cans. Seriously!

What you’ll need:

  1. 3 cans of Krylon Fusion Black Satin paint cans
  2. Very light sand paper

Step 1 - Sand off the residue

Take the light sand paper and rub gently on the flares. This is just to remove the debris and old paint that was there so the new paint will stick better to the plastic. When you’re done sanding, just take soapy water and clean the flares.

Step 2 - Tape of the Jeep

To paint the flares you have 2 options: 1) remove the flares completely 2) tape off the jeep.

I went with option #2 as it pretty easy and less knuckle scraping.

Step 3 - Start spaying

When you Jeep is nicely covered, start spraying. Like any spray paint job, you need to spray evenly across the surface in a horizontal manner. From left to right and right to left, etc…

Apply 3 generous coats, the third being the coat that makes sure you got every inch of flare painted and your done.
