Default where to buy factory flares?

Color matched flares to be exact? I can't find them anywhere online. I can find the OEM black flares no problem, but I want the color matched ones! any help?

so you paint the black textured or smooth ones whichever they are, with a filler primer first? any certain brand? Then paint them with the color

You can't get very much factory painted anymore, seems more pieces are colourmatched then it's up the bodyshop to paint them.

You'd only need to filler primer the textured ones, cause it's a lot easier to sand down the primer to get a smooth surface, rather than try sanding down the textured plastic.
