Try using a paper template of those given dimensions, and place it on the fender to see if it fits the size that you are thinking about. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the tip on the painting. Don't you need a flex additive in the paint to keep from cracking though? And are you talking about painting directly on the vinyl material or magnet itself?

I bought a 16" x 24" 0.030" magnetic sheet for my autocross numbers. It came white, and I painted it black and clear coated it. I've seen no issues so far... and I wouldn't expect any at this point. Now, my numbers might be more flat when in on the car (they go on the door) than where these guards would go... but I don't foresee an issue. No guarantees though... just my thoughts from what I've done so far.
