Paintable fender flares

[Remos69]

So I have been waiting for what seems to be forever for the Dennis Carpenter flared quarter panels to complete my body and build. The restock date still says March 1, but I doubt the will be in by then. I call them weekly and get 0 information so I am going to give it until next week and if they are not in just order a normal set of quarter panels and flare them. I would like your feedback on the best paintable flares and from whom as I would really like to keep them the same body color. (Pic of fender for reference).

Oh man! I read the title and thought OMG someone is 3D printing flares! ;D

I was thinking you must have access to a HUGE 3D printer if you plan on printing a set of flares. And most of the material choices are not that good.

I have used WH Fender Flares many times. All of them were painted body color. I also install Black Rivets.

Both the WH brand and Bushwacker brands are paintable. Probably most others as well.
They're ABS if I'm not mistaken, and generally just some flex-agent is recommended for the paint. Perhaps using a primer that's rated for plastics would help, but the flex agent was the most often recommended item for painting them that I remember.

Bronco Design has my vote.

Bronco Design ! I stopped by their shop last Wednesday and bought a set.
Their Fiberglass flares are the the best price and also are the thickest and strongest.

Another vote for Bronco Design. They fit so good I didn't use welting.

I have Bronco Design flares on my 71. No welting. Very close fit with small amount of sanding to make them tight.

Bronco Design flares are the best fitting flares that I have ever used. They are top quality glas. I wanted welting on Rattler because I wanted the retro look.

Ok. You talked me into Bronco Design..... Ordered them this morning.
