what paint did you use on the flares? did you paint on an adhesion promoter first?

I just used a Trim Black (gloss)
Sanded and cleaned with paint thinner for prep, waited until it dried and sprayed 3 layers each flare

looks good but you should paint the impact strip on the bumper and the pad on the back bumper.
