My advice is that you cannot possibly clean the part good enough before painting. I painted a few parts, and immediately had the whole paintjob peel or flake off. However, when I repainted them, they adhered. There must have been some kind of oil or otherwise on them that the paint took with it.

Clean it up, and use what's called an adhesion promoter.
It's the plastic version of primer. Without it, it will flake off in no time. It doesn't hurt to use a plastic dye, either..

Best place to go for paints, believe it or not a fabric shop. I bought all my fabric adhisive, plastic primer, and plastic paint at fabric land. Also a deadly place to get rejuv for your carpets seats or any other fabrics that may be faded. Ever spray painted seats before?  |

you won't find fender flares. Aeroform is your best bet on the body kit. Others can be found, but not nearly as easily, and usually used.

I'll tell you what. Do some research on carbon fiber fabrication.. and figure it out for yourself.

Or, get some foam from home depot, shape them yourself, and fiberglass. |
