DIY PAINT TO MATCH FENDER FLARES F150

[@aguaflux]

Nice, clear instructions. Just ordered paint set through your link for my new grill. Here goes nothing 👍

[@stolnpckup]

It does look good. I do like the black screws instead of white ones. Good job.

[@jayplaysgames96]

currently doing this for my ram 1500, white color match as well. Nice job and informative video 👌🏾

[@ButterlesToast]

Could’ve showed how you also sanded, applied the adhesion promoter, and the clear coat, I’m literally about to do this and have never painted any car part let alone fenders,

[@semperfi1566]

Looks good how many cans of paint and clear did you used. Thanks in advance

[@georgezimmerman1827]

Very clean looking.

[@jcorona25]

How many cans of each product did you use in total?

[@michaeljamescarlile]

That looks awesome! Really good job!

[@ozzie1684]

Color match on everything looks great .. gonna be any color match mirror caps in the future ??

[@WICKEDAUTO1]

I've been debating on that. Not sure if itd be too much or not

[@ozzie1684]

@@WICKEDAUTO1 one way to find out .. I'm about to do the color match on mine " your old mirrors "

[@derricksaenz6500]

Those wheels look so much better

[@crazytrain2504]

You should get the putco led ford badge for the grill

[@3MendezDeleon]

Nice built. I love the red oval logo on the front grill could you tell me what size is that? Thanks in advance.

[@Goondock333]

I know this is a little bit of an older video, I see that you painted over the rubber gaskets on the flare edge. How is that white paint holing up on the gaskets? Nice work on the videos BTW.

[@WICKEDAUTO1]

Actually holding up pretty well surprisingly! I dont doubt I'll have to touch up at some point but weve had freezing temps, snow, rain and heat so far and good to to

[@Goondock333]

@@WICKEDAUTO1 good to hear and thanks for the reply!

[@Avenged188]

Doesnt need primer?

[@bradroute3998]

I see that this was 3 years ago so not sure if I’ll get a response, but you did a great job and I’m about to do the same sort of job to my white truck. I’m curious did you paint the fender well side of flare white or did you tape it off and leave it black? My only concern with painting that part is how well it’s going to hold up to rocks and gravel flinging against it. Especially the little mud flap part.

[@WICKEDAUTO1]

I painted everything that you see....Definitely got some little chips on the mudflap just as you would with the front bumper.

[@paullee4014]

How many bottles of paint did you need

[@Afraidwyre]

How many cans of paint and clear coat and adhesion promoter did this take ?

[@jordanclements8178]

Looking to paint my stock flares that are 9 years old. Going to try to match my truck's tuxedo black, where did you get your paint? Did you have any issues with flexing?

[@darkhorse3856]

I think the grille painted white would look really good. Your doing a great job though on your truck

[@WICKEDAUTO1]

I've thought about it but worry itll be too much white then. Thought the outside rim like the stx grill, the middle bar across the grill. Still not sure lol

[@Corney-wj9pj]

did this last the last 4 years? curious cause im about to paint mine. the shop quoted me 1000 dollars

[@WICKEDAUTO1]

Assuming so, the guy that bought it just commented on a video this spring n said still loves the truck n no issues with anything

[@desertdude1]

Did you add the black strip on the side of the truck or did it come with it. I like it and am thinking about adding it to mine.

[@WICKEDAUTO1]

It came with it but you can get them from ford and I believe Americantrucks too

[@DeaconWoodworks]

Thanks again for the video and your first response to my comment. One follow up, did you sand in between base coats and between finish coats? If so, what grit and how often?

[@WICKEDAUTO1]

No i didn't. Only sanded beforehand. I only took a towel to it after the final base coat as I didn't have any spots needing sanding. If I had i would've done 1000grit wet.

[@Leverenz23]

​@WICKEDAUTO1 how many cans of adhesive, paint and clear coat did you buy?

[@MikeArroyoMAFITNESS]

how many cans of base coat did you use?

[@AceMcPippen]

What front number is that and grille?

[@michaelpast19]

What are your wheels and tires spec ?

[@hrford8362]

did i miss the vid where you changed wheels that had red inserts in it, those wheels looked sweet?

[@WICKEDAUTO1]

It was the video before this one lol

[@m.e.cuevas7375]

How many cans per flare you used?

[@DeaconWoodworks]

How many cans of primer, paint, and gloss did you order to do the flares and how many for the bumper? I love what you did and would like to try it out myself.

[@WICKEDAUTO1]

For both together, I believe it was 6 cans of paint and 4 cans of gloss. Just one can of the plastic adhesion promotor for the flares.

[@joejr9653]

​@@WICKEDAUTO1I'm about to order paint to do mine. Hope it comes out well too. Did you primer them? Looks like just used plastic adhesion then painted and cleared. Is that right? I won't need to primer too?

[@brianhuber6177]

Wicked, the flares look good. I actually have the same flares but not put on yet. 15 F 150 SC, XLT, FX4 Sport in magnetic. 5.0. I was hoping to put the flares on when I get a new wheel / tire combo (Fuel couplers in gloss black with General Grabbers. Can you on me on a project cost? Body shop wanted about $250.00 to paint the flares. Thanks.

[@WICKEDAUTO1]

That's not bad at all! I'd just do that honestly unless your interested in doing it yourself and want to try it. If not let them do it. Just for the flares it was probably about $100 for adhesion promoter, paint and clearcoat. But the time it takes and may not come out right

[@sergiobretado9889]

Where did you get the paint from?

[@itorchedparis]

Did you paint the rubber trim that goes on the backside between the flare and the truck? If so, did you paint them while on or off the flares?

[@WICKEDAUTO1]

I did paint them, painted them while on the flares and so far have no issue with them shipping it peeling but I'm sure I'll have to touch them up being rubber

[@Ha-kf6ge]

Looks good man !!

[@jay1two33]

Wow. Haven’t your videos lately. You’re making moves. Nice. 👍🏽

[@DJorge512]

How easy were these flares to install? I've heard bad things about their hardware.

[@WICKEDAUTO1]

the hardware does suck, they are kind of a pain and a 2nd person is a good idea

[@aqua.scape69]

Looks good bud. Stupid question, can you buy these already color matched? You did a great job btw painting everything. Obviously, you did save money painting them yourself. Truck looks great.

[@WICKEDAUTO1]

Yes you absolutely can. You cant but this specific set which are 1.5in wide so it helps with the wheel poke but there are others you can get already painted they're just wider.

[@aqua.scape69]

WickedF150 ok cool, thanks man

[@bigdawg35100]

Looks Awesome! I am leaning on a 4 inch lift to put on my F150 with some 35s. Can you fit your truck in the garage with your set up? I have a 7 ft garage door. Maybe that’s your next video. 🤔

[@WICKEDAUTO1]

I can but barely lol

[@phillipyounkins7432]

Appreciate the video.

[@michaelatkinson8046]

Where did you buy these fender flairs?

[@WICKEDAUTO1]

Link is in the description

[@tisdale36]

Is this paint still looking good? Does it still look factory? I may do Ruby Red pretty soon

[@WICKEDAUTO1]

Yep, still holding up great so far

[@tisdale36]

Do they sell ruby red paint? The painted flares are $800

[@WICKEDAUTO1]

I would assume so. You just have to check their site as long as you know your paint code

[@tisdale36]

@@WICKEDAUTO1 yeah, I saw your link after I had asked. How many cans of which size of each did you need?

[@WICKEDAUTO1]

@@tisdale36 just the 12oz I believe spray cans. Still have some left of 1 can of the adhesion promoter, took 2cans of paint and 2 cans of gloss clearcoat

[@brendanlyon6160]

are these made from abs ?

[@WICKEDAUTO1]

yes

[@bvbhu3dg]

Why do you have to sand it off?

[@WICKEDAUTO1]

You want to sand basically any surface you paint to make sure the paint adheres correctly

[@germanfornine]

Great

[@germanfornine]

Have you had any mechanical problems? Hope not.

[@WICKEDAUTO1]

Not one! 😁

[@tisdale36]

Your front bumper was only $315.78?

[@WICKEDAUTO1]

Yep but also had to make it work. I wouldnt recommend getting the same one. I'd get a solid bumper not a 3piece

[@masonpugh3637]

They look great really good what do you expect in 2023 world is changed as governments great job

[@anarchy7409]

I was thinking should leave the flares black, and now I see them painted. Hmmm easy to criticize being anonymous, but I do like them painted. You are going to have to buy your wife a truck and start over again.
