Has anybody used Rustoleum bed liner spray on there fender flares? If so how did it work out and how should I prep them before spraying? Thank you
That can be fixed.Old Jeeps tend to "burp" when the tank is full.
Yes it can. Still looking for the right time to drop the tank and trim off the tabs on the neck float.That can be fixed.
This is really interesting. As i spent a couple days prepping and painting my flares with sem adhesion promoter and sem trim black. And it failed. Paint is flaking off. And i used acetone to clean them after sanding and washing.I’ve got monstaliner on a set of flares and it is holding up very well after nearly a year. Clean and scrub the flares a few times using a detergent like simple green, sand them real good until the original texture is completely gone (extend your sanding an inch or so in on the bottom and back sides too). Clean them a little more with simple green and then rinse them really well with warm water. Spray one coat of bulldog adhesion promoter (gives plastics much better surface tension). Then you are ready to apply the bedliner. Extend your application to the bottom side and back a little bit because wherever the bedliner starts is the most likely place that it will peel if it does peel. Better to keep it hidden. Also do not at any time use acetone. It will break down the plastic and essentially turn whatever part of the flare it touches into powder which will become a point of failure. Good luck.
I think its either the acetone or the forever black. But i cleaned the hell out of them between the forever black and the paint.Acetone will damage some plastics but not all. I've done 2 sets of factory flares and other plastics and never had any issues with acetone. Whenever using any kind of solvent it's always best to test it on a small inconspicuous area...let the inside of the flare that you can't see. You'll know in short time if there will be an issue.

Duplicolor is highly rated. I may try that next time.I saw pictures of @Nickgsjeep and did the dupli-color bed armor as well. I think @zebra12 might have tagged the wrong Nick. The pictures @Russ_S posted look great too. I think careful prep and some luck is all you need. Dupli-color makes foaming prep spray to clean the surface, the plastic adhesion stuff and the liner. I just got all three of those and did it that way, it's what the hardware store had on the shelf.
I just buy new flares. It's $130 for Omix. Avoid Crown. You get new stainless hardware, worth it in my mind since materials alone to re-paint will be in the $70 range, and who knows after 2-3 years. I like to do something once and wait 10-15 years, not 2-3. My .02c.Has anybody used Rustoleum bed liner spray on there fender flares?
