OK, after the first attempt at painting my mirrors, finally got them the correct color after taking it to the body shop yesterday (the body shop did them for free too ). What do you guys think?

Nice, I like it more than the cheap-plastic-looking color from before

Very nice looking!!! Did you do it yourself or did you take it to a body shop. And did you take the mirrors off or did you just mask it off.

Thanks man. I had a body shop I do tons of work with paint them, and I did take them off the car first. I have a friend who does mobile bumper repair paint them earlier in the week, but the color he mixed was a little off (I think the brand of paint he uses is tinted diffently) so then I took them to the body shop and they got the color match perfect.

Those look great! Very nice look. I wasn't sure how it would look with the black around the windows still, but it turned out really nice.

Very nice! How many coats? Did they use a clearcoat?

GT_King · Post by **GT_King** » Tue Jun 15, 2004 8:33 am

Thanks! They put two coats of color on, and yes, two coats of clear too, then in about a week, I'm gonna color sand and polish them to take away the orange peel look.

I was wondering if anyone has a driver side mirror that they are looking to sell. I have a extra passenger that I got off Ebay, I just need a driver side one . I would like to paint my mirrors also and do not feel like driving with out one while it gets painted. Thanks

The mirrors look nice. Are your wheels CDR9's? I have been looking at getting those for a while now. Do you have a straight on side shot of your Vibe so I can get the full effect?
