Default Painted mirror caps

I have searched high and low on here, and google and am not finding a solid answer..

I want to put OEM mirror caps on my XLT, but I want them painted... It would be easier to go borrow some off a Lariat, but that's not how I am..

Does anyone have OEM part numbers for REGULAR (non tow, non power fold) mirrors, or know if the base lariat ones are the same?

You have to buy them in primer and have them painted. They’re not sold pre-painted by Ford. The company on eBay that sells them painted has crappy paint that chips if you look at it funny.

Here you go, left hand and right hand. Pretty sure this will work on your XLT. I ordered these from Tasca Ford for my 2018 Lariat when I was replacing the factory chrome caps with painted ones. My local Ford dealership quoted me $65.00 to paint them both Ruby Red. When I went back to pick them up after painting, the body shop manager told me he had already was painting a vehicle Ruby Red so he painted them for free. Total investment- $58.46

The eBay company I mentioned sells painted oem caps...but it’s their paint work. That’s the one I’m saying stay away from.

I bought caps off eBay that were chrome. Had a shop paint them along with a grill surround. Caps still look good today.

I purchased mine off eBay almost 2 years ago and they still look brand new. Here’s a link but idk if this is the place I got mine from or not.

I did the Mirror caps, Door & Tailgate handles, just make sure they are PTM or you'll have extra prep before painting.

Youre going to have to pull yours off anyway. You can sand them smooth, just have to get them primed & painted instead of just paint. NBD.
