Painted my mirrors!

I painted my mirrors last weekend...they came out okay...not perfect, but it's better than black IMO! Let me know what you think! (sorry for the shitty quality)

Sweeeeet Im gonna do it next week now! I have a white 2 door, and I was actually thinking about doing this.. how did you take the mirrors off? Is there any type of harness to unplug? (did you take the mirrors off??? )

[socal3rdgen]

take the mirrors off. cover the glass and hang them on hangars. Make sure to scratch pad the surface so the paint will stick. I also have a white 2 door coupe . i painted mine when i painted my car. its not a bad idea

[adams86lxi]

[blazin3gen]

[krott5333]

What kind of paint? Regular auto paint, or should I use krylon fusion?

I knew that my idea for you would turn out swell. Way to go! Looks sweet.

I had to take the door panels off to get the mirrors all the way off. There's a harness that essentially lies right behind your power window switch, and you have to unplug that to get the mirror out...so the door panel must be taken off. And there's 3 screws that go into the mirror. You'll see them...well, there's one that holds on the front point of the mirror base that is in front of the door seal thingy. You'll see it. I highly recommend it!! :D

Just trying to make you car look tight. I wish I could do the same thing, but my paint would be too hard to match.

Thanks fellas for the praises :) I hope to lower her pretty soon (within a year), but I want to get a kit and get her painted before I do that, and get headers and a cam before paint...all in the process my friend :) I can't say I don't agree with you about the wheels...they're nothing great, but I got them for $200 total from a gas attendant at home in Hillsboro!!! :D I'll get new ones eventually...probably gunmetal colored...Rotas maybe??? Not sure yet. Thanks for the comments!!

When I get it on, I will. I'm kinda thinking about doing a sort of How-to style install, to compliment 1988starter's How-to.
