Paintable, but stiff like metal so they could damage body metal if they make contact with something

Xenon are paintable.

I'm fairly certain that all plastic fenders are paintable. I don't see why they wouldn't be.

I have the Xenon, but left them black.

Sell both, in terms of quality the Bushwackers win hands down. Xenons tend to sag over time.

Xenons sag even with reinforcement panels. Had them and switched to Bushwackers. Much better.

Okay...I guess I'm leaning the wrong way. Going with the Bushwackers and painting them white.
