Default Paint OEM fender flares?
I just picked up an 04 Tahoe LT. It's black and has the fender flares on it. I'm wanting to either get a painted black bumper or bumper cover and grill inserts to have the whole thing black and chrome.

Do you think I should paint the fender flares or leave them alone? Hell, can they be painted at all? I think it would look better instead of the plastic look. Thanks for the input guys. I'm just getting started around here!

Well I may be showing bias on the subject, but they look perfect the way they are!

Jeep flares are painted all the time.

Infact, with the TJ with faded flares, a trick is to use a heat gun (GENTLY) and it makes them jet black again...

They can be painted, just requires proper prep and flex additive.
