Have any of you guys had the factory side view mirrors painted to match the body? I was supposed to get a small ding removed free of charge (happened during shipping) on my new car from the ford dealers body shop. While it's being fixed I asked if they could paint the side view mirrors and he told me he'd take them off, sand them so the paint would stick, throw a couple of basecoats on it and then finish it off with a clear... all free of charge. Sounds cool. Hopefully they look good. Anyway he's going to do it on thursday so I was wondering if you guys have any input before I go through with it. the only thing i'm worried about if the texture showing through and it looking like ass. He said you'll only be able to see the texture way up close but who knows...

I've seen a pic of a white GT500 floating round with white painted mirrors and triangular mounting section and it looks brilliant.

He should sand the textured plastic completely smooth then spray adhesion promoter on the plastic so the paint will stick. It will look a whole lot better. I'm doing mine after the weather gets cold again.

I had mine done, cost was $300 but they are done properly and do not show any texture.
I haven't seen them done with the texture showing through, but don't really like the thought of it since the rest of the cars finish is smooth. Maybe you could pay the guy $100 cash for him to spend a little extra time on them to get rid of the texture. That's what I would do.
