Default Rock Guard Paint

I got around to instal one of my Christmas gifts, the ACS Rear Quarter Extensions. They look great but made my rock guards look crappy. I have the GM rear extended and the original ACS front rock Guards, both sets textured. Tuesday I got to work on them. Sanding ACS not too bad, the GM texture was very hard to get decent for paint. I spent more time masking them than painting them. I will probably get the ACS XL's someday, but this will do for now.. I componded them, but can't wax them for a month.. next I will tackle installing the painted front fender extensions. I did notice today quite a lot of debris on the rear extensions.. I might have to put a strip of PPF on them I posted a few general pics of my little 2 days of fun...

Good job
Them Blah back to Bling guards was the missing link between painted Spats and Skirts.
I did the same.No PPF.Plenty of clear coats.PIA to sand them GM Shorty guards.
Not many people notice the Blah,but us owners do

Masking wasn't a issue really cause it gets hidden in the fender.The otherside well,is the road side. Unless you wanted that clean ending of paint?
