there MUST be an easier way
Figured i'd paint my fender flares rather than buy a whole new set. Picked up the Krylon Fusion as recommended by everyone!
But i have to say - i thought removing the fender flares would be easier! I started to do it figuring it would take half an hour - no way - getting under those flares is not an easy job! am i missing something? it has to be easier than that.  HELP!

I removed the plastic fender liner several years ago. It made getting at everything under there a whole lot easier.
 It may not be the choice for everyone. |

A wratcheting wrench (5/8" IIRC) is your friend in this situation. Starting at one end, pull on the flare while you loosen the screw.
Stu is right, the rear is much easier if you remove the wheel well liner. I removed mine and sprayed them with undercoating. I was kind of worried about it at first, but now I'm glad I did it. You'll want one of these to remove the liner ($5 at autozone):   |
