It's pretty bare, but here's a poor picture of a front fender well that was sprayed with bed liner.

Re: Fender well paint?

Wheel wells are easy to do, Throw a wire wheel on a grinder and take off as much as you can. Seam sealer, prior coating, rust. Put on new seam sealer and coat the entire thing in what ever your situation allows for. Straight undercoating is fine for most people. Bedliner is another option and will dry harder. If it is a weekend car in nice weather use some brush on paint.
