Side mirrors paint

[ali_legend]

Thinking off painting my side mirrors and door handles myself. whats the best way to do this on a very low budget.?

[Josh@TunerLifestyle]

id also like to know how do they come off? i need to paint mine

[Amjad]

Take the inner trim off, the bolts, BOOM

Ali, just sand them down lightly with fine/extra fine grit wet and dry, degrease, few coats primer, few coats main paint colour, optional lacquer coats and you're done! Satin Black looks good IMO

[ryan lang]

josh, how did you manage to carbon wrap yours, without taking the platic bit on the inside off, surely you took it off?

should be 3 bolts behind it and wham! mirrors off

[drongo boi]

amjads right satin black ftw

my wing mirror bases were painted satin black and liqured

[ali_legend]

You reckon satin black base ad white side mirror. ? Tbh if i did it id just do white all over. Gunna have a go maself cuz been qouted bwt £130ish for it. F**k that

[Amjad]

You could do it for £15!

I reckon all white looks a bit tacky, the black breaks it up a bit!

[drongo boi]

yeh get it done i did mine myself lol wernt 2 hard just primer the hole think, cover the base up n spray the mirror white, thn cover the mirror and spray the base, thn laquer the hole thing only cost me like 20 25 quid lol all halfords paiint lol

Make sure you get your lines correct with the masking paper nothing worse than a tacky job also preparation is the key
