I know a local guy that had his mirrors painted the same color as his car. Turned out pretty good.

Could have done it myself if i had the materials.

It's really not that hard to paint cars.....as long as you got the color matched and an idea of how to be patient.

In this case, I had my friend take the mirrors into his paint shop.

In the past, we did much harder stuff on my civic. On a scale of 1-10, the mirrors are maybe a 4-5.
