Is there an easy way to treat inner plastic fenders on trucks

[Mike Phillips]

Any suggestions as to what specific high gloss paint to use to paint the wheel wells with?

Rustoleum

Cost-effective - can be found anywhere.

You might also look at S.E.M. aerosol paints - look for these at a local PBE store.

Okay. Thank you Mike!

Okay. Thank you Mike!

Prep work will be key for good paint adhesion.


Possibly a scotchbrite pad and some form of solvent.

Lacquer thinner?


Me? I'd probably go full nutso and chemically strip with acetone. And "yes" wearing gloves as this solvent is nasty.


The above are NOT recommendations, just thinking out-loud. Do any of this type of work at your own risk.

Thanks everyone for the good suggestions. I may pick up the Mequiar's and try it in my insect sprayer and see how it goes.

I've always been a big fan of 303 Aerospace Protectant. It's a little pricey but does a great job. It's fairly water soluble but once it's completely dried and cures, it seems much more durable. It's literally the only dressing product I use anymore, for pretty much everything. I don't do high production detailing. I'm a one-man show these days so low volume and expensive. I use tried and true products that I've tested myself without much regard to cost. Some are super reasonable, like Beadmaker, some are more expensive, like quality polishes, 303, etc... It's just got to work like I want it to.

I've been a fan of 303 for a while too. I dress my engine with it and before I stopped dressing my interior, I used to use it there as well. Get a gallon of it which will help with the cost.

I buy 4 gallons at a time Bill

I'm not big on dressing interiors either, but if a client requests it, well, the customer is always right!
