Thanks! It's been on my list ever since the weather warmed up. Wouldn't have gotten to it today if my dear bride hadn't helped out. Yeah, I'm lucky and she knows it

Yesterday I installed my Lund Riveted fender flares. They are an easy install but I wanted to do something to protect the paint on my new truck.

I noticed this on my last truck - never got to bare metal but did get through the clear coat.

To avoid that I decided to try to prevent this... From looking around the web it seems some people were trying to add double sided 3M tape and a few others were using protection film (like a clear bra material). I opted for trying the clear protection film.

Incase anyone wants to do this Im including a few step photos as there was some trial and error.. First I screwed in the flare so I could see the fit. Once the fender was in place I used some thin masking tape to mark the curve - leaving about 1/8" gap above where the rubber gasket touches the truck. Then removed the fender.

After that I used a strip of clear protection film which was about 5/8" wide. This was wide enough to fully cover where the rubber gasket hits the paint. Following the tape curve using a squeegee and install methods for that clear protection film. Difficult to see in photo but its there.

Drying and cleaning the area. Film is installed - was very difficult to get a photo of as it is just about invisible once its on. Only the edges can be seen.

Here you can see the fender installed again over the clear protection film. Again, difficult to photograph but you can just sorta make out the line that runs about 1/8" above the top of the fender gasket.

Done!
