I was tired of having faded flares so I decided to paint them. This is how I went about doing it. Hope this helps the next guy.

This is my Jeep. It's a 2003 TJ.
I used Kyrlon Fusion Satin, 2 cans.
I decided to take off my fender flares so I wouldn't have to worry about overspray. I used a 1/4 drive 5/16 socket to remove them. I would suggest getting a ratcheting box wrench if it's in the budget. That would make it a lot easier. There are quite a few nuts and bolts that hold them on. There are some "christmas trees" (push pins). You can try and reuse them but I went ahead about bought about 12 of them.

So I took off the front fenders.

Then I removed the rears. You will also have to remove the wheel well covers. These are held in by the christmas trees. I went ahead and cleaned all the dirt behind them.

Once I removed all the flares I washed them with some soap and water. I also washed and waxed behind the flares. waxing is up to you. I also preped the front plastic piece that covers the sway bar.

This is after the first coat. I put on a total of 3 light coats.

This is the finished product. It took me about 3 hours with everything. But I also enjoyed a nice cold adult beverage in between coats of paint.
