Painted the mirrors

[dislexiclawyer]

It seems like keeping my Explorer looking good is an ever evolving process. Since I have touched up everything else I decided to tackle the mirrors. I figured it would be more durable if I used some truck bed coating on them. Also I don't have to worry about runs or getting the mirror completely smooth

Here is my poor truck. Dirty, missing the mirrors, and waiting to be reunited with the new wrinkle black grill that is in the mail.

Here is some of the stuff I used.

You can see how terrible of shape they were in.

Sanded and masked off.

After the first coat.

And the final product! I think they came out really well.

Cool!! I did mine on my 97 with black moulding spray paint and the difference was huge

Those do look really nice. If I was worried about the looks of mine, I would probably do that.

To make them look even more flashy you could probably take some black Krylon Fusion and paint over that.

I'm not really wanting anything flashy, I just needed to get the mirrors black again and with a little more durability. Thanks for all of the compliments guys.
