It didnt work for any of mine. My flares are painted from the factory so I didnt have to worry about those. All the paint on the end caps and side molding is just blistering off. What you gonna do though.

An important thing to remember about the Krylon Fusion is this: while it does in fact bond with plastic and give you a very good finish, it cannot do this if you're putting it down over plastic that's already been painted at the factory. At that point, you might as well just use regular spray paint.

Just wanted to clear that up.

try some stuff called Trim Paint by Duplicolor. I got it at Advance Auto Parts for about $6 a can. I did the end caps and side trim with it almost 2 years ago and it hasn't faded, blistered, or peeled at all. Just prep your stuff before you use it and it'll turn out fine. It's held up too power washing, wheeling, even a run-in with tree while trying to get up an obstacle.
