Plastic wheel well liners

Featured Replies

Hi. Do you have any products that can restore, paint, or protect old and faded plastic wheel well liners?


Thanks.

We absolutely do have products to paint old and faded plastic wheel well liners. Are you looking for a smooth finish or a texture type finish?

Ooh. I have choices?! A textured finish would probably hide some of the plastic's defects, so most likely textured. But of course I am curious about the smooth finish now as well. 😀

First is proper prep. Clean the faded plastic wheel well liners well with KBS Klean. Rinse. Then let dry.

For a textured finish, apply KBS UnderCoat Rubberized or KBS UnderCoat Asphalt directly to the cleaned plastic wheel well liners.

For a smooth finish, apply BlackTop directly to the cleaned plastic wheel well liners.

Please review those products and reply with additional questions that you have.

Hi again, I went with the KBS Undercoat Rubberized and absolutely love the texture out of the aerosol. However, I underestimated how many cans I would need and was only able to get 1 1/2 light coats on my wheel wells. Once I order more, what would be the prep needed to continue adding light coats since the current coat will be cured by then?

 

Thanks.

Are you keeping the surface covered and clean or is the surface exposed to the elements?

They are sitting under a covered porch after drying.

 

Amazing difference though on these 38 year old plastic wheel well liners.

3. Wheel well just before using KBS UnderCoat in an aeresol

4. Post KBS UnderCoat and looks brand new!

If the surface has been kept clean, simply apply more coats of KBS UnderCoat with no prep required.

 

If the surface needs cleaned, use KBS Klean to clean the surface, then simply apply more coats of KBS UnderCoat with no prep required.

 

The pictures look fantastic. Thank you for sharing them with us.

 

Please reach back out should you have any additional questions.

I did two more coats on those plastic wheel well liners and they look unbelievably good! Thanks!
