Aight, i've searched and really have not come up with anything but... Currently my fender flares are the same light khaki (i think its light) as my jeep. The bottom plastic piece under my door and the liberty piece on my doors are gray. I would like to paint everything to match but really not sure how to go about doing it....Can anyone help?

Thanks

If you want to do it at home, need to find some color matched paint, not sure if dealer carries spray cans of touch up paint. :? You can either remove pieces from vehicles or leave them on and use blue painters tape to mask off, use a scotch brite pad with some light detergent water, and clean real well. The scotch pad with clean, plus rough it up a bit for paint adhesion even though I believe all those parts are already textured. Let them dry real well, especially if you leave them on Libby. Once dry, right before painting, use a lint free cloth with some alcohol on it, go over it all, let dry. Then use some good adhesion promoting primer, then shoot with your paint. Just my :2cents: on how I would do it, there will be other ideas from other people. I will be doing all the gray fedners/bumpers on our Libby and painting them black in the spring.
Or you can take it to a paint shop and let them do it :mrgreen:

I think the back is black, but the whole front fascia is gray. When I'm done, everything will be same color black, including door strips. I did it on my 95 chevy astro, made a world of difference in looks.

Ill have to hunt around for some pics. I just know now the bottom of the door and the long middle trim is gray. Figured it would look good with the whole thing.

Plastic bumpers/fender > Painted fenders
You can't scratch the paint on plastic fenders when bumping shopping carts out of the way. :ROTFL:
Or when you nic a tree. :JEEPIN:
