Side Mirror Color

**oldblu** · 12-07-2008 08:37 PM

Since I'm doing some body work to my car, anyone think I should chose a different color for my side view mirrors?

They have to be clear coated like the rest of the car.

I was thinking black? No?

And has anyone experimented and successfully used chrome paint from duplicolor? I tried using it once but clear coating it afterwards takes away the shine

i think gloss black would look pretty cool. i doubt that chrome spraypaint will look good

Do black. I did this to my A4 when it was semi stock.

The car is silver. Do you think there will be too much of a contrast between the non-painted base and the black?

I don't want it to look like I found random mirror housings and threw them on
