Abstract of the Disclosure A spray-suppressing surface configuration for mud flaps and other surfaces near the wheels of motor vehicles. Tapered finger-like projections are oriented in parallel with one another, projecting outward from a base surface at an angle a few degrees below the hori- zontal, when the base portion of the flap is vertical. The projections are arranged in a pattern of overlap- pingly adjacent rhombic groups arranged in parallel rows which define unobstructed channels for the flow of accu- mulated fluids received from the wheels of the vehicle, yet suppress splashing and formation of spray as fluid strikes a flap having such a surface configuration. At least the base surface and fingers may be of a flexible moldable material with an adhesion-resistant surface. Flexibility of the finger-like projections permits snow and ice to fall off the flap easily.
