You just need to take your time doing it.I would first recommend you tape off any part of the mirror you do not want sanded or painted.To make the mirror come it's best and last a long time, do the following:Get yourself some 120 & 220 grit sand paper.Start roughing up that green paint with teh 12o grit paper. Try to make the sanding even across the whole mirror. Meaning, do not concentrate the sanding in one area as this will show in the new paint.When done roughing up the paint, clean it off real good with either IPA (alcohol) or a damp cloth. You don't want any depris when painting.Get yourself some spray primer, spray a nice even coat ovedr the area wanting to be painted. Once dried, take that 220 grit paper and sand the primer down, not completely, but enough to get the surface nice and smooth.CLEAN CLEAN CLEANTake a Dupli-color spray can of your cars color and spray the mirror down with nice even strokes. Allow to dry per can instructions. It may take a few coats (2-3) to get it even.When paint is dried, spray some clearcoat protector on it. (may take 2 coats). Allow to dry.Sometimes you can wet sand the clear coat with some fine 400 grit paper inbetween coats, but might not be needed for just a mirror.The important part is to take your time, and have patience. It will take you about....2-3 hrs including drying time to do this. good luck with the project and looking forward to seeing some pictures when its done!</blockquote>
