PTM mirror caps
Hey guys..
I bought a set of all black tow mirrors for my truck finally. Im hoping to PTM the mirror cap. How do they pop off? I dont want to break any tabs and im worried about messing with the glass! Anyone just tape them off and paint? thanks!

When I added my PTM and installed the chrome caps, the caps SNAPPED on pretty hard. I suppose if you tried to pry the caps off from the side slowly you would have a 50/50 chance of success.
Good luck.
Good luck.

I'm not saying the other way will be sub par but if a body shop can't guarantee it wouldn't that be a good reason to at least think twice about it? (only know they can't because I asked both of mine and had another member mention it too)

you have to pop the glass off to get the cap off the right way.......yes you can PTM the stock caps, what we do is sand them w gray scotchbrite and then shoot them w bumper prime w the flex in it, the stuff is thick and fills the texture. Then shoot w single stage or base and clear, depends on ur needs..........good luck

I went ahead and ordered the chrome caps for $45 shipped...figured it was easier than popping off the glass and risking breaking the mirror. Plus I won't have to deal with the texture issue. How much scuffing of the chrome cap needs to be done before paint? I plan on using a plastic adhesion promoter primer also
