I wouldn't recommend it. If you want it to match your paint color the only true way to do that is to have it professionally painted.

I just did the top half of my mirrors and the paint is a perfect match. Im going to be doing my flares in the near future with duplicolor.

Here is my original post on how I painted mine on my truck. They are holding up surprisingly well, since I did not use adhesion promoter. Several people thought they would not last, but they still look the same as when I first did them about 4 months ago.

If I do them again, I will use the Bulldog adhesion promoter which is recommended by others on this forum.

I painted my handle covers with the duplicolor paint and they matched up fine. I would definitely recommend adhesion promoter anytime you paint plastic. LOL I just realized this thread started a month ago. Probably got it done by now?
