Flares...Paint or No Paint??

Pa.hemi.ram · Nov 4, 2017

I’m 50/50 on painting my black rough country flares?? Most the people I see say leave them black because of my black wheels, mirrors, Nerf bars and grill. Can’t decide?? Always painted then in the past but never had other parts that were black.....just want a few opinions please. Don’t want a 10 page thread...lol

Here it is...

Color match em with that front bumper. Keep rivits chrome to tie into the grill's rivits. Only other thing I would do (were it my truck) is get smoked HID headlights. But your truck looks amazing either way.

Both ways look good...hard choice lol

SoCal- Already bought clear Halo hids headlights.Didn’t want to attract cops with smoked ones. Led Tail lights are next. Ok how do I color match bumper? Not the same as the truck color? Honestly can’t decide what to do about the flares lol...appreciate opinions guys. Like to see some more...

I think paint matched would look better, but either way works with your truck.

Another vote for paint match here.
I like those flares, haven't seen that style that goes all the way down on the front. Wonder if they're available in smooth...

They are Rough Country. I agree I liked the long flare. Unique. They are smooth

Color match because you have a painted bumper. Halo HIDs will look great, too.

Yeah, my buddy has those. They don't really provide much coverage at all.
I'm looking for something identical size to what the OP posted (with the notch for the headlights), but without the rivet style. Thanks though.

Color match

Jeepwalker · Nov 5, 2017

Tough call.

Can you photo-shop your picture with truck color on them? Maybe that'll push you one way or the other.

Paint them

RAM DRVR · Nov 5, 2017

As said in another thread......paint them to match........... :happy107:

Pa.hemi.ram · Nov 5, 2017

Hhhhmmm dang. Was hoping it would go the other way so I don’t add another project to my list lol...leaning toward painting em.
