Default SF body colored mud flaps

Our 98S’s mud flaps were starting to look bad. You know how they turn that streaky gray color with age. They were originally black. You can hit them with dressing and they will look great for a while but I was growing tired of that.





I decided to paint ours to match the lower body color just like some of the later models. I had all the PaintWorld products left over from a front bumper repair. PaintWorld has great prices and service.



These are professional products so please follow all directions and cautions. You must use a good paint respirator, this stuff is not your normal rattle can paint.





They are drying overnight and will get installed tomorrow. I can add pictures if anyone wants to see them on the car.

HI! there, I Just did my mud flaps a couple weeks ago for the same reasons on my 98S . I used a product called Forever Black and was happy with the product, would like to see a photo with your foresters colour matched. Did you use a clear coat or is it not needed?

I know this is old but do you have any updated pics or maybe a list of products actually used to do this(can't read all of the cans)?
