Soo... Kinda in a deliema. I've been sitting on some flares for a few months that are textured but scratched up and painted semi gloss black and still have the 3m tape that needs to be removed. Was just trolling eBay and I found these...

Fender Flares for Chevy Silverado 99 06 Set of 4 Paintable Matte Black OE Style | eBay

they advertise smooth surface ready to be painted. Researched the company a little and found them on Amazon for like 30 bucks more. Reviews were good besides like 2 and looked at customer pics to confirm smoothness.

trying to figure out if it would be worth it to buy these and just take them to get sprayed. As opposed to fucking with the tape trying to get it off now that it has solidified into concrete god I hate double sided tape, not to mention wouldn't have to sand these. Also don't know the origin of the flares I have OEM or not but they have some gouges that would have to be filled too... Thoughts?
 
Yassss with flames. Yeah Tis what I am leaning towards. Can do a test fit without taking off tape and before having them sprayed and if they fit like ass back they can go haha
 
So update those are trash, don't even come close to fitting right vs the other craigslist ones that are a little beat up but they fit like OEM all the holes match up... So requested a return for those and just gonna do a quick scuff and shoot of trim paint and try to get them on before I go to GA. Don't have the money to have them sanded and colormatched at the moment

No. don't even bother trying to sand smooth textured flares. Just get a smooth oem set. That's what I did
 
He got a smooth eBay set but I don't think they fit or something lol
