Sprayed Mirror Caps - Blue

I had some free time last weekend and wanted to add a little color. I've already sprayed my headlight and grille trim (Noob: just now discovered what plasti-dip is) and wanted to move on to something else. I'm not thrilled with the finish since it orange peeled in places but in concept it turned out pretty well.

I'll have to fix them when I have more time to let paint dry or maybe color plasti-dip them down the road.

Here is the end result.

Not sure. I painted over my chrome caps. I'd check somewhere like ebay. I've seen black ones on there reasonably priced.

This?

They show up in the NAM Marketplace fairly often too.

Eggmont I like what you did. I've been wondering what a two-tone mirror might look like. Nice job!

I like! I have a set of Union Jack mirror covers on right now but I like the 2-tone look. I have a spare set of covers (Autotecknic CF with bubbled clear coat) That I might just sand down to the bare plastic and do some sort of 2-tone. Very innovative!

Cool! You should do the rear-view mirror to match!

Very nice scheme. From the pics it looks like they were made that way!
