should i paint the chrome on mirrors
#1
i painted my bowtie to match my truck. i like the way it looks. i would really love to paint my door handles to. they don't make pre painted ones for my color. should i paint the chrome on my mirrors to match my truck or just leave it?

I like my chrome mirror caps, they match up well with the chrome grill, bumpers, exhaust tip, and new wheels I'll be getting in the spring.
The handles would look good painted, but they also match up well as-is with the black bumper caps, tinted windows, bug guard, blackouts, and window visors.

somebody makes plain mirror covers for our trucks, check with stylin concepts or even gm. it would be less of a hassle to paint those than the chrome as you may have an adhesion problem and the color may look a little light due to the chrome underneath....

i was thinking of sanding the chrome mirrors, put a coat of primer on, then paint, then clear
