Thanks guys. I did mine in December of 2008, and they still look pretty good (it's now almost October 2009). I'm sure a year or two and they'll be ready to do again. I can't say for sure how long it will last... I guess it just depends on how much sun the flares get, how old they are, and what they're made of. Hope that helps a little. Thanks for all the comments!

kind of worth watching just to see if the lad sets fire to his house.

Nothing like plastic fumes for small children. I don't care if you smelled it or not.

@jesusisnotreal1 Actually, there was no smell at all. If there was, I would not have done it in my house. 

[jesusisnotreal1]

Why would you do that inside your house? I know it smells horrible... dumbass

its better to prime and paint the fenders with the right paint i used a heat gun on my jeep fenders it made the color come back but it only lasted a month till they started fading again , i painted them and they lasted a long time now

this might sound crazy but try peanut butter next time just put some smooth peanut butter on a rag and buff it into the plastic and the oil seeps into the plastic and when that happens water will just bead up and roll right off it lasts for quite a while and its not as time consuming

spray paint?
