ali_legend Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Thinking off painting my side mirrors and door handles myself. whats the best way to do this on a very low budget.? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Josh@TunerLifestyle Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 id also like to know how do they come off? i need to paint mine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryan lang Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
