painting/coating new front fender splash shields?

[Dakota Boy]

one side is done.... it's hard to get a decent picture of the panel.

I need to order front fender splash shields since both were missing on my car so will probably order from The Bird Nest.

Also wondering if anyone sells the other front splash shields and seals? The ones that are in front of the front wheels protecting the headlight and parking light housings.

Once I clean all the undercoating off, mine might be salvageable, but wondering if any vendors carry or if the salvage yard might be my only option.

Thanks

I believe partsetal on this site has them available for purchase

The front splash shields are not being reproduced. Normally they don't rot out like the rear ones do. Once you clean all the undercoating off you may find that they are in pretty good shape. If they are too far gone The Bird Nest also sells used parts. I would ask them when you order the other ones. As mentioned Carl Heller (partsetal) probably has some used ones too.

Oddly enough, if you need to replace the rubber on the splash shields, one of them is available from our vendors and the other is not. I just bought a piece of rubber and cut out my own. Fortunately there was enough left of the old ones to use as a template.
As another member already stated, truck bed liner coating works very well to protect the tire side of the shields. I used it on mine and was really happy with the results.

Does any anyone have a template for section in the middle where you can see the engine? Is it made of rubber or plastic I was thinking maybe make it out of tar paper.
