PAINTING INSTRUCTIONS
If Fender Flares are being painted; do not install edge extrusion until painting is complete. Prior to painting, c lean all surfaces to be painted using clean water and a mild detergent, do not use lacquer thinner or any solvent based products. Wipe completely dry.

If using a paint system that requires baking, do not expose the product to temperatures above 70C (158F). Do not fit the extrusion or any of the hardware to the Fender Flares until the paint is completely dry.
