What to use on the side mirrors?

**Thexissilent** · 08-17-2010

I got it in my head that my side mirrors need to be black and I'm wondering if good ole krylon fusion would work on 'em or if I need real body paint.

rattle can will work if done right.

what color is your car? Because someone on here did it with their silvermist gtp and it turned out good.

Mine is silvermist too actually. Guess I'll take a trip to walmart tomorrow and see how it turns out.

what steps are you going to do, as in prep and stuff?

i would do sand, primer, sand, primer, wet sand, paint, wet sand, paint, clear, clear.

Just saw this post, a few days late, before you do any sanding, use a wax and grease remover! But do not buy the cheap stuff from Wally world.

I wouldn't use spray paint on mirrors, especially when a body shop could do the mirrors in black for you dirt cheap. But thats just my opinion.

Could try and see if anyone is parting out a black car and snag the mirrors off of that.

if you go to autozone they have paint for plastic. it comes in a spray can and they have a selection of colors and there is clear coat already in it. it worked out really good i used it on my car to paint the mirrors red.
