If you have crome mirror covers and wanna color match your rig go get your self some 400 grit sand paper, 3M 2 sided tape primer, paint, and clear coat and a hot day.

1.Just pry cover off with a flat head screwdriver (be carefule Hercules there plastice)
2. Sand/wash free of dust and oil don't touch after.
3. Prime at lease 2 coats dry time betweencoats vary on temp/ sand than prep for paint.
4. Paint at least 2 or 3 coats let paint bake in the sun.
5. Last spray clear in light coats as it will crack paint if it is too thick, than let bake int the sun again.
6. Apply 2 sided tape in designated spot on back of cover and apply.
7. Any ???'s just ask?

 

why so much work i bought my mirror covers for 40 buks painted black from the dealership. I still have my shrome ones, I wouldnt want to paitn over chrome. If you get a bad enough chip on there it will start to bubble.

 

Me and a friend painted the Whole thing!! Looks way better that just the caps IMO.

 

I have to agree, The whole mirror painted looks sick!

 

Painted mirror pics anyone?

 

Too time consuming to paint all of the mirror housing. You would need to sand the whole thing down until all of the rough texture is smooth. Then you could paint them.
seems cool, but a lot of time to do it.
Did you also paint the part the mounts to the door?
Lets see some pics.

At The Track..... You can also see the painted bumper too

 

The whole mirror was painted, Not Perfectly smooth either, Will take close up pic tomorow in the daytime for ya.

 

did you also paint your bowtie too? if so, could you tell me the steps you did and the parts that you used?
looks sweet. exactly what my truck needs among other things

 

I need to repaint the bowtie

But lightly sand it and use some gloss black duplicolor paint and slap on a few coats. Its easy if you take your time.

i need to repaint due to me rushing it last time and the first caot didn't cure and the second coat made the first run

I will post pics of the mirror today(got wheels yesterday and was distracted)
