Mudflaps with flair (using paint pen)

[BennyTheBeaver]

I'm installing my 2nd set of Mudflaps now and I wanted to share the flair I added and, most importantly, a link for a paint pen that is a close match to Picton Blue (which is the blue on the Lightning Logo and Flag). I noticed others using a different Blue of this brand. I took a chance on the Light Blue one and wasn't disappointed, its a closer match.

Link: Light Blue Paint Pen

(I tried my best with lighting. This is pretty close. In reality, it's slightly darker than it shows. It's a pretty close match)

Yes, that is the one I was referring to earlier. The Blue in that pack is too dark. The link I posted is the same brand, just a closer color match.

I don't agree. It was a near perfect match, and others that have used it have said the same thing.

But as long as you're happy with the results, it doesn't matter.

I actually compared both blues side by side with the lettering on the truck, the darker blue is actually closer

Interesting, I used the other Blue on my other Lightning. To me this looks much closer, the other was too dark.

A great example of why people that create products always have unhappy customers.

Does anyone use anything to seal the paint? My mudflap paint wore off after a year on the truck. Some clear acrylic spray or something?

Agreed with @RickLightning , the Amazon is a perfect match

You used one of these paint pens? It is oil based. Not sure how being on the back side of the flap it could wear off.

Yes. I did use one of these paint pens. Rain and sun over a year broke down the paint and it was completely worn off after two winters.

I took a picture with the Light Blue Paint Pen next to the Lightning Bolt Flag Emblem on the back. I still think this is a closesr match, however, everyone is entitled to their opinion. I was just sharing my opinion, the color and the link with anyone that wanted it.
