need some advice on painting wheel flares

I bought some takeoff OEM wheelflares for the super duty I have coming and would like to paint them. The flares are painted Pale Odobe and I would like to make them black. My local bodyshop quoted me $120 to paint them, but I think I could get them done cheaper myself.

I was thinking of going with either a satin black paint or some rustoleum spray on truck bed coating. I think the truck bed coating would look better since it will have the dull rough finish, but how well will it stick to a plastic part that may flex a little?

Or would I just be better off paying the $120 and have them proffessionally painted? I'd hate to paint them myself and have them look like crap after a year or two.

$120 isnt a bad deal. There are a ton of plastic paints out there now and it would probably be easy to DIY but I would spend the 120
