Hey just wondering if anyone knows the paint code for the flares on a 97 sport. Some asshole at work backed into my flare. Looking to just touch up where paint is fully scuffed off so it looks good from 5 feet.

thanks

Just go to the salvage yard and get one off another Explorer. That's what I did after a lady backed into mine and cracked the thing. Got mine for around $50. Much easier than repainting it.

I found one at a junk yard I may look at. Just some bolts and clips to pull off right? It’s from a 98 so hoping it would be same colour and fitment
 






IIRC there's three screws a 13mm bolt and a bunch of clips. Cost to fix is about $300. I've seen them on ebay for around half that price. Yes, 95-01 is all the same.
 






Go to the auto parts store and get a can of touch up spray paint. Sand it smooth and spray. It should match almost dead on, or you can always spray the others to match.
 






I believe the colour to be called medium graphite on the flares don't know the paint code#
