What type of material are you using it on? Plastic? Metal? If it's unprepped plastic I would use the Fusion, otherwise I tend to lean towards Duplicolor, personal preference though.

I'm thinking of spraying my own fender flares if I ever actually buy them. It'd make it much more affordable than paying a shop.

Paint the parts the day before your friend gets home. If the parts are plastic like Altair asked prior prep the parts and use a self etching primer just to make sure you have the best adhesion possible.
