Colored Mirriors

It could probably be done, but there would be a bit of bodywork labour involved to "fill" the mirror cap surface to make it nice and smooth to accept paint. Probably involves special primer and paint. In the end, it might be cheaper to just buy the Navigator caps.

I have no idea on how much that would cost. I only know that when guys get the black wheel arches on their MINI Cooper painted & colour matched, they spend of couple of grand due to plastic prep etc.
The Expedition's mirror cap is made of the same sort of material & texture.

well for the chrome pieces i might just buy the chrome tape and paste it on there to make look alikes until i have enough money to get the real one, and i'm thinking of going to the junk yard to get the mirror caps and the chrome pieces, well i'm hoping their a good price 
that's alot of money though...

I got a set of Mirrors off a Expedition Limited on Ebay for $75.00 And had them Painted to match my Truck. They look great.
