Re: Painting my mirrors black
Here are the pics (not the best) they are the only one I managed to take while I was doing the various stages of paint:
The car with no mirror covers:
When primed and lightly sanded:
Black dust coat:
3 coats of black:
All lacquered up and polished (finished):
All done and back on the car:
I am currently re-doing the passenger side... something happened when it was drying and I'm not happy with the finish. Will upload a pic of both on the car when its done.
