I plan on installing OEM fender flares. Is it possible for me to purchase a few cans of OEM color match spray paint and paint them myself? If i take my time, would it come out close to professional grade? I have always painted small trim pieces with spray paint, but fender flares are a little bigger.

my only concern would be in most flares bumpers and plastic parts are painted with whats called a flex additive so the paint don't just flake off or crack if flexed

No it will look like spray paint
Don't cheap out, get a spray gun and buy some paint and do it your self
That's what I did and I do all my own small project painting now
Or pay a shop

What kind of gun did you get? How big of a compressor you have? I would love to do it myself.
