I don't know the year or option package breakdown, but Jeep fitted later TJs with painted flares -- made of more rigid material and without the texture. People remove them all the time for wider aftermarket flares -- so you can dig up a full set for cheap money. For what it's worth -- I've had great results with small painted areas using a PreVal spray unit with automotive-quality paint & thinners. Quick, easy, minimal clean-up (or none if you choose), and those spray units are dirt cheap -- Home Depot even stocks them now. Jon |
