Painting Fender Flares on TRD OR

Has anyone painted their fender flares to match the color of the truck or at least know if it's possible to switch out fender flares for already painted (Sport) fender flares? I kind of want to switch it up on the off-road. I have a super white 4x4 TRD OR.

 

You can get paintable fenders from Toyota. These come black but are different from the off road fenders. You could have them painted by a body shop or switch someone here on the forum.

 

I just seen it on a inferno looked great he said he took to a good paint and body shop they painted them and made them look as smooth as my sport fenders you could never tell the difference!

 

Too bad you didn't get a picture! I would of loved to see it!

 

there you go!

 

those are his black fenders painted !

 

Damn! Not bad at all. I wonder how much that'd cost...hmmmm.

 

Did he get the Prem & Tech package to have his chrome bumper painted with the sensors or did he just paint his rear bumper as well? I cant see the sensors from that angle if he bought the package.

 

Its all painted.

 

I wanted to to do paint mine too. I called Toyota to see how much the sport fenders were and they wanted $199 each! I said I would rather keep the black plastic ones than pay that. Any who, those look good!

 

In the parts catalog there is no difference between TRD OR or Sport. Hmm

 

Toyota should have done this from the factory in my opinion

 

If anyone wants to trade their off road fenders for my matched ones PM me. I'm located in Las Vegas

 

OR guys are painting their flares and Sport guys are plasti-dipping theirs black.... How about a swap thread?

 

I tried.

It's funny how people's views and opinions vary. I'm in that boat for sure. My Sport model is currently being built, but as soon as it hits my driveway I will Plasti-Dip the Fender Flares & Front Valance just like the OR model.

 

In process of installing OR flares on my DCLB sport.

 

And change, too.

Going in, I absolutely hated the unpainted fenders on the OR models. Now I kinda like them.

 

Doesn't look right painted on the QS, needs to be stay black.
