Factory Painted Fender Flares

[JMC]

I have a 2005 GMC Sierra 2wd that is Metallic Charcoal or I think by GM paint code called Dark Spiral? I'm trying to locate the part #'s for a set of factory painted fender flares. I know I've seen Z71's with them and found this HD on Autotrader with them.

VIN# 1GTGK13U65F916389

GM does not offer the flares already painted in Dk.Gray Met.They only offer them painted in...White,Sport Red and Fine Silver Birch,The Black ones they offer are going to have the grained finish to them.

The only thing you can do is order one of the other colors they offer and have them painted,Thats what all the guys around here do.

Well that bites! So if a body shop had to repair a Dk. Met. Z71 they would have to prep flares or buy another color and paint them?

 

Thanks for the response guys!!

 

GM Accessories Zone has Front Fender Flares and then Fender Flares. But they are the same price? Anybody ordered flares from here?

Yep,Thats what we do here at the dealership,GM does offer the flares available in a smooth black finish,But you have to buy each one by itself and their not cheap (List is over $200.00 each!)

JMC,If you give me the part numbers your looking at,I can see what flares they are and if they might be what your after.

Front Fender Flares - Black 12498563 $184.00

 

Front Fender Flares - White 12498564 $184.00

 

Fender Flares - White 12498565 $184.00

 

Fender Flares - Grained Finishblack 12498569 $184.00

 

Fender Flares - Front, Fine Silver Birch 12498720 $184.00

 

Fender Flares - Fine Birch Silver 12498721 $184.00

 

I'm a little confused for example with the 'white' flares how they have 2 different part numbers for Front then the other just says Fender Flares.

 

I just want the easiest to prep and paint to match my 2005 Dk. Met Charcoal.

 

I really appreciate your help! I added the flares to my '01 which was white so I got lucky and it looked 100% better. I really want to do the same with my '05.

OK,On the flares,All the ones that DO NOT say "Front" are for the rear.

12498563 (black grained),12498564(smooth white) and 12498720(smooth silver birch) are front ones and 12498565(smooth white),12498569(black grained) and 12498721(smooth silver birch) are rear ones.

I didn't know if you knew this but you have to buy the front and rear separtely.

Thanks alot Rich for all your help. Guess I'll probably get a set of the Silver Birch and just have them painted. Nothing worth doing is ever easy I guess. Thanks again!
