Had my mirrors painted

Wow! That all I can say. Its amazing what little mods can do.Almost have the whole truck Painted to match. Pat from texastruckscene.com did some great work on my mirrors. He did PTM on the caps and a great looking semigloss black surround.



before they were just the ugly black plastic, but after!!!!

Are you gonna get LT handles, or just have them paint those with the plastic chrome strap over your originals?

Not sure the exact grit's he used, but it was a step down type sanding where he started real rough and got down to a real fine sand. then taped them up painted and cleared. It took awile since he had to do the colors seperately.

Very nice. The gloss sure is sweet. I'm probably the only guy that likes the plastic parts on my truck, but not in grey. I'm soon going to paint them satin black.
