Putco Hex Shield Mud Flaps: Black vs Stainless Fit Guide

Putco Hex Shield mud flaps are sold in truck-specific pairs, with flexible matte-black polymer or polished stainless construction. Choosing the finish is only part of the decision: the exact MPN determines the intended vehicle application and mounting arrangement.

Material and finish matter

Matte black polymer · 782 series

The 78255, 78260 and 78270 entries specify high-density polyethylene with anti-sail stiffeners. Check the body style and the specific truck rather than assuming the black sets are universal.

Polished stainless · 780 series

The 78025, 78045 and 78050 entries specify stainless steel with anti-sail stiffeners. The shiny finish does not indicate interchangeability with a different wheel opening or mount.

Match the truck before choosing a pair

  1. Confirm the truck's model year, model and wheel-arch configuration, including whether it has single or dual rear wheels.
  2. Check the manufacturer MPN application rather than assuming any Hex Shield set fits a common Ford, Ram, Chevrolet or GMC model.
  3. Compare the specified material and finish. The 782 series here is matte-black HDPE; the 780 series is polished stainless.
  4. Check whether drilling is required on the exact kit. For example, both 78255 and 78050 list drilling for installation.
  5. Confirm any necessary fasteners, mounting points, anti-sail parts and clearance before fitting the flaps.
All six entries describe paired, vehicle-specific mud flaps. Choose the original manufacturer's fitment for your exact truck and inspect the product listing before ordering or fitting.
