BushWhacker Flares

Got a 2011 350 (2.5" level kit) with Adobe trim, seeking input

1) Typical cost for painting
2) Long term durability of paint adhesion
3) Suitability with stock 20" wheels and tires (will keep wheels but tires will be upgraded to either larger Nitto or Toyo in a year)

1) $450 to $600...Fords metallic paints are expensive. Consider painting the grille or surround at the same time.
2) Depends on the quality of the Shop you use. I would say better than OEM.
3) They will stick out way past the stockers. Perfect for larger and wider tires.

AMEC, can you post some more pics? I have contemplated numerous times but so many here in Alberta already have them I am almost more original by not having them. Seems the only trucks that don't are the work trucks.
