TEXAS MWD

I would really like to have painted mirror caps, but I don't want to pay an arm & a leg for a body shop to paint them.

Does anyone know of an aftermarket company that sells these already painted? If not, has anyone painted these themselves?

Any advice would help. Thanks.

search in the 04-08 forum. there is a guy who did this himself with just some rattle can paint and they turned out great. I'm going to be doing this once spring gets here.

Painted my new tow mirrors yesterday. Came out great:

^^^ is that part of the mirror or a cap??

That is part of the mirror and it is the cap. I had to take the mirror apart in order to pop it off but I could have just painted it with it still on the mirror.

Looks dam good!... Did u sand it or just paint it??

Thanks man, I actually cleaned it first with a degreaser even though the mirrors were brand new out of the box. Then I just painted them with the matching Duplicolor paint with about 7 coats. I made sure the coats were real thin since it was plastic. I then used 2 coats of Duplicolor clear coat. Came out great.
