Talking **NEED Sterling Grey Mirror Covers for 2013 F-150**

Would anyone be interested in trading their sterling grey mirror covers for a set of black (plastic) xlt mirror covers plus some cash??? Can't find em anywhere but the ford store and they're really expensive. Thanks!!!

Have you considered buying some colour matched paint and doing it yourself? It's not too difficult. There are places than can mix you paint and sell it to you in an aeresol can.

They have to be sanded if you want it to get a factory look(Non-textured).

Order:
1.) Sand texture off
2.) Adhesion promoter
3.) Primer(Optional but ideal)
4.) Base coat (2-3 coats)
5.) Clear Coat (2-3 coats)

That, or plasti dip, paint and clear. Don't know if plastidip would cover up the texture though.

Yeah that's a little much for something like that. I would just find the color matched paint and do it myself. Its really not that hard..just takes patience. 80% of the work in painting is preparation.
