Default Bed Liner on Fender Inserts

Anybody ever coated their plastic fender inserts with bed liner? Mine are looking pretty aged and I have a bottle of bed liner left over from doing bed. Was wondering how this might work out as far as holding up or just looking like crap overall. Thinking if I do this, I would turn the air pressure up to keep it as smooth as possible. Thoughts?

Unsure how yours will stick to plastic. I know mine said it would not. Plus it would be hard to clean. Best bet is Meguiars Plastic Restore or paint.

I did that Plastic Restore about year ago and it seemed good for a while, but has faded out for the most part. As far as cleaning it, I was thinking degreaser and a nylon cup brush.

Seems like I've heard of that that before, but forgot about it. I'll give that a try. Thanks!

Hey thanks for pointing that out. I must not have looked very good on my first search.. Now if I could find some for the rear, those don't seem as easy to come by. I could justify spending more for the backs if the fronts are that cheap.
