Was wondering how I can get my side mirrors the same color of my car?
Buy new ones or can I paint them?and how?

Yes I did mine and it makes a big improvement on it's stance. It's much sleeker looking IMO.

yeah just take it to any paint and body shop and they should do it for a decent price since they're small parts. but it won't llook smooth unless you ask them to like fiberglass over them. which will be more money and time. i got my side mirrors and my door handles painted along with my antenna shaved.

So what should be used to paint them?

lanos2001 · Post by **lanos2001** » Mon Apr 18, 2005 11:59 pm

if you want them to match the color of your car then have a body shop paint it for you. if you just want them done then use i guess krylon since thats best for plastic. i would suggest having it done professionally though.
just looks cleaner that way
