I would think you would want a more flexible fender than the stiff ones to paint. There is supposed to be a new ingredient that you mix with the paint so it does not get that egg shell cracked look if the fender gets folded or bent a little. I dont know if it bleaches into the fender itself or what. I was thinking that maybe it causes some kind of chemical reaction and allows the color to be drawn into the actual plastic. I know you are supposed to rough up your plastics with an sos pad or even a light weight sand paper to get the paint to stick to the plastic. I really dont know, im a farmer not a painter, its interesting though.

 

well the only reason i said easier is because i read awhile ago that all the other brand quad stock fenders were easier to paint because the paint bonded easier then our ds stock plastics.

 

I dont have a clue about which would be easier, if you need help about farming almond trees i can help you[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

The laker plastic is much easier to paint. it is made from polypropolene instead of polyethelene like the stock. The laker stuff is like painting a foreign car bumper, while the OEM is like trying to paint teflon, its not designed to have paint adhere to it.
