2 years here. I hate these jerks that say it can't be done. Mine are smooth as glass and after 2 years not one mark on them.

That sounds like a very low price if that includes all labor. Remember, you usually get what you pay for so be sure to find out if there is a warranty on the work. Painted side mirrors, flames--should look very nice. [8D]

Here is a larger pic of mine, the day I got it back from getting them done.
Actually, this picture is at the shop before I even left.

You can see the cruiser in the background that belongs to the guy that runs the place.

I'm having mine done by Airbillester waiting for him to send them to me. He uses the core charge method. Go to his web site http://www.fastlanegrafix.com/. You can see his work. Having mirrors and door pillars done. Can't wait.

I'm having some interior stuff by Airbillester. Can't
wait till it gets here.I know he does good work.I didn't
think of him for mirrors.I know the guy that's doing
my mirrors and he is real picky about the work he does.
So I'm not to worried.By the way your Cruiser looks good
and so does Joe. Tell him thanks for me.[^]

Had the mirrors, OEM rear bumper and front bumper cover painted over a year ago. Took the bumper cover off and had the OEM bumper painted last week. The mirrors and rear bumper are still perfect and it was the same painter so the front bumper should last a long time.

I had my mirrors & pillars painted last year. I removed them & dropped them off at a small body shop that had a good reputation. Sanded smooth, primed, painted & clearcoatd for $100. Pretty good bang for the buck.
