what is the best paint for inner fenders. when I bought care got a little overzealous in the clean up and ended up taking off some paint. seems like it is a semi gloss. hector thanks,
I've used either Rust-Oleum semi-gloss or take them off and have them powder coated which is even better! On one car I've used the Rust-Oleum semi-gloss and on the other car I had them powder coated I prefer powder coating which is more money but they are more impervious to spilling anything on them with a powder coating...

I had my inner fenders media blasted when I had the body done. After, I sprayed them with Rust-Oleum gloss over the bare metal. No prep - just a wipe with a tack cloth. What came out of it was a near perfect representation of how they looked new - just a small amount of gloss and a nice deep black.
I, too, used Rust-oleum but because the paint is like water, I laid on several coats. Results are great. Over the past 12 years, I have repainted the fender liners at least 3 times. The paint fades over time and then there are stone chips that have to sanded out. Before I could actually the liners the first time, I had to employ a propane torch + 1" putty knife to remove the product "Rockhard Protectorant" that the previous had applied to the lines + firewall. What a job!
Rust-o it is then. but even though one inner fender got stripped, i guess i will have to mask of both and paint so they match.
Use the Rustoleum 1613 Semi Flat, BUT, buy the industrial grade from a place like Grainger. The over the counter stuff had the formulation changed about 5 years ago, and is nowhere as good. The industrial grade paint is great in sheen and durability.
