You need to add a flex additive to the paint to prevent it from cracking when the mudguards bend. Take them to a body shop if you really wanna do it.

Not really. If you have a good body shop paint them they will get done right & not have any problems. I had the same set of painted ones for almost 3 years. Not a single problem.
