Default painted mirrors?>

Hi I was wondering what is the best way to get inferno red door mirrors...I've seen it done ...Do people just paint the black factory ones?

Yes, they paint the black ones. you have to prime and wet sand them first to remove the texture. Inferno red is an expensive color, and is a factory pack color for most paint systems. so if you take them to a shop to have them painted, dont be surprised at a high paint bill.

I painted my mirrors inferno red about 6 years ago and they still look great. They make the whole care flow better. (actually the dealership did it, along with the bumpers.) I highly recommend it! I've been trying to get my dad to paint his for a while.
It wasn't that expensive either if I recall correctly.

Wow, that was another old thread. I forget I have to be careful about that on this site!
