I bought a spare set of mirrors to paint match over a year ago and just got around to painting them a few weeks ago. Fast forward to this AM and I finally got them on the car.

Looks good, the only down side is you can tell
the difference between the old faded paint and the new sparkly paint.
nonetheless still look good.

I like painted mirrors, i have them myself.

As mentioned the car really needs to be cleaned up, once I get the paint clean and polished I think it will be pretty much a perfect match

how did you go about painting them, looks great

Cleaned, sanded with 150, sanded with 220, primed, sanded with 220, primed again, painted color, cleared, waited a few days then polished and waxed

the reflection in the first pic makes the finish look a lil dull/rough, other than that they look good. Time to update the old sig.

I love painted mirrors but there is something about these, I'm just not sure about em.

But I do like them, they just ALMOST seem out of place.
