Can you or can you not order color matched mirror caps? Someone on here said to go talk to parts guy... Well I did and that was a compete waste. Guy couldn't even work his own computer.

I have an ingot silver XLT and want matching caps

That's a pretty good question, I would wonder how well they would stay attached in hot weather that we both deal with.

No.. It's a replacement piece.



The silver piece above the black plastic on the mirror. It's not an adhesive application.

Quick question, you want to order them already painted? Or READY for paint?

Already painted i doubt you can get. I rarely see them come in already done.

Ready for paint, then have someone paint them, or you do it yourself is more likely.


Or do what some have done on here and paint yours?

A member on here said you order lariat caps because they come color matched... I could paint mine I guess but where do you get a large quantity of ingot silver paint?

Hmmm...never heard of the lariat thing before. Might be true.

Some body shops will sell you paint. Also some auto body supply stores will as well, even put it in a spray cans for you. Member Tko_818 has done that. Pm him he might be able to steer you in the right direction. We don't do that at my body shop, so i don't have much experience with the spray can thing.

I bought color matched spray paint at NAPA for $16. The can is pretty big too.

I had some chrome skull caps on my mirrors and took them off, sanded the chrome down to the plastic, then primed and painted them and cleared them. I used Dupli-color exact match paint for my Oxford white '09. Got all the stuff to do it from O'rielly's.

Or you can...Grab the face of the mirror, pop it off evenly, then release the tabs holding your skull caps on the inner mirror. Remove the skull cap, replace mirror glass, make sure it snaps in all the way around. Take the skullcap to a Ford body shop and all them to paint them. They will have the color more available than independent body shops. When you get it back, just snap it on the mirror, you won't have to take the glass off to snap it back in.

Ford body shops are notorious bad body shops, IMO. Take it to a "real" body shop...

No offense, but any body shop can mix the paint. Not just Ford specific places
