fender flares
this is in the ranger page too, i dodnt know where it went.
I have the factory fender flares on my 99 4x4. i like the size and shape of them, but the finish could use some work. They look like a kind of vinyl finish but they are plastic. ( you know all the little ridges) I was wondering if i could put bondo on them and paint, or are they too flexible and the bondo would crack. I want them to have a glossy look (chrome if i can find a quality paint, or maybe aluminum). if any one has done this or has anything to say about it let me know. thanx.

I probably wouldnt put bondo on them too flexy is my thought like yours.
There is a company called AlClad that makes chrome paint if you really want the chrome look. I can get you the website if needed..
To get the textured surface off, You can either sand or.. try the bondo, if you keep it thin enuff, it will flex a small amount.
