You can purchase them at a painting supply store or online, but they’re usually made of cloth since all they’re supposed to do is catch overspray.

 

Here’s a set of canvas one’s at Eastwood.  $25.99 for a set of 4.

Yeah. Can you buy those? Would be harder to make than the cover itself!

Why not make some "painting" boots for the wheels to prevent the splatter.

That was a fine report!
I'd "heard" that covers that go all the way to the ground trap moisture
under the vehicle. The damp environment leads to more corrosion. Like I
said, just something that I'd "heard".
