    Painted my mirrors (PICS)

    WELL MY SEI'S MIRRORS WERE LOOKING KINDA BAD FROM ROCK CHIPS AND BUG DAMAGE, SO I REPAINTED THEM WITH MY HANDY AIRBRUSH:

    HERE THEY ARE BEFORE:


    HERE THEY ARE CLEANED, SANDED, AND PRIMED W/ CLEAR ADHESION PRIMER:



    AND THE FINAL RESULT AFTER BASE EMERALD GREEN, CANDY BLUE PEARL, THEN CLEARCOAT:



    I THINK I MATCHED THE FACTORY BLUE GREEN PEARL PAINT PRETTY GOOD. THE FRONT BUMPER IS NEXT WHEN I HAVE TIME. I WANT TO DO THE HOOD ALSO BUT IT'S TOO BIG OF A PIECE TO DO WITHOUT A PROFESSIONAL SPRAYER

    thanks guys! i painted it with emerald green first. after many coats, i then coated it with candy blue pearl, which is transparent, lets the green shine through. then i clearcoated it with good thick layers for added shine. where the sun hits, it's green. it's blue in the shadowy areas

    Looks ALOT better then the factories did. You did a great job. I can't wait to see the bumper since it's going to be a bit more of a challenge.

    yes of course, once i get the custom fiberglass fenders and hood done. it would either be pearl white with chrome flakes or candy blue pearl with sapphire flakes.
