Default AR bumper and fender trim questions...
From what I can gather, the trim is actually painted, not like the rubber/vinyl/plastic like you see on a Volvo Cross Country or Jeep Wrangler trim.

What do you guys use to fill in any chips and touch up any blemishes? Is there an actual touch-up paint for this?

How about protective covers? Any that don't yellow?

What do you use to keep it polished and looking new? I just put on some Black Again and it seems to work well.

TIA

Default You are correct, the paint code should be in spare tire well
There are two different matt greys -- one is a bit more green but the paint code should be in the spare compartment on a sticker. If not, call dealer with VIN.

Or you can just buy new flairs prepainted.

Default Thanks, definitely have the darker grey non-green color.
Anyone else with tips on care or protection? it seems overly delicate.

Since it's painted -- clay, polish, wax, enjoy.

fenders are not paint...its the color of the plastic. the bumpers are paint.

Default ehhh, not on mine. My '01 atlas fenders are definitely painted.
I have a couple scratches where you can see the black plastic underneath.

No polish. Just wax.
