To properls paint your fender will take a while. You will need to sand all the primer and re-prime all the paint. Then apply 2-3 coats of color, wait 24 hrs, 2-3 coats of clear, wet sand, and buff. In short, not an afternoons worth of work. If this is going to be used off road, I wouldn't dump $300 into a paint job, but I would atleast do it the right way.

Also get the nuts/bolts/washers needed. Here is a write up where they used Rubicon Rear fliars up front. Makes sense to use wider flairs up front since the front sticks out 1/2" or so further then the rear.

that was a great write up and clean look, Only thing I would do differently is the Rubi flares in the rear to match also. May consider this in the future.
