My friend Marc(Zelse), removed his rear OEM Mazda RX-8 aero flares. These are part of the Mazda RX-8 OEM Appearance package which includes the front air dam and the side flares. I had splash guards on the rear of my car and decided to sell them since Marc gave me his rear aero flares. Easily removed by 2 screws, my next steps were to paint because his car is black.
I proceeded to sand down, prime, paint, and then clearcoat. I purchased an aerosol can of Mazda OEM Velocity Red paint from automotivetouchup.com. The Mazda OEM VR paint is a tricoat process which involves the base coat of color, midcoat for that awesome depth and effect, then clear coat. With the aerosol paint it's a very close match to Mazda OEM, though missing that bit of depth. The flare is down low on the car so the difference is barely noticable.
