I (first) paint the insides of the fenders by placing them in a common paint rack. Once they dry and I have wet sanded and buffed the insides, I tape up (insides) and place them on the horses. Repeat I can get you a photo tomorrow if you like. I should have thought of these years ago as they have made my life much easier.

Re: jigs for painting fat fenders
Okay, here's the photo's I'd promised. Don't laugh - they really work well. Of course they are padded prior to utilizing. Note the one end is a mirror opposite of the other saw horse to compensate for the left vs. right fender.
They are about 4' tall which makes them about perfect for my old back. Okay, now you can laugh

Hi Kube... you described them well that's how i pictured them yesterday after reading your post,I was thinking 3/4 plywood but better yet looks like you shaped it out of a piece of 2 by 8.. I can use the inner fenders for a pattern,,,thanks much |

Re: jigs for painting fat fenders
I'm sure plywood would work just as well. I had the 2" x 6" stock so used it.

Re: jigs for painting fat fenders
Well, I'm not laughing.....I'm disappointed! From "THE Kubarth", I was expecting no less than properly trimmed, shaped, sanded, stained, and then hand polished wooden 'art'.....something akin to this saddle stand pictured below. Neat horses though, that certainly should serve function quite well. DD
