Has anyone seen paintable aftermarket mirrors for the new mustangs? Or is the best option for body color mirrors to paint the existing ones. If you have painted yours did you sand the bumps off first? How well is the paint sticking to the plastic? Just about ready to get them painted and I want to do it right. Thanks

I found these on e-bay today, thought they were interesting.

I'm going to get the Midwest AutoGear inserts myself, but thought I should share these.

I had mine painted at a local paint shop for $125.00... The finish is a smooth as the factory paint on the rest of my car... I believe they primed them first with a special plastic primer, followed by two other sanding/priming steps to smooth out the mirrors... Then they applied the final finishing paint and clearcoat...

I had mine sanded down and painted as well. I sent mine to a local body shop to be done, so if you wanted to do it yourself I couldn't tell you how hard it would be. After their sanded the mirrors have to be painted with a special primer that helps the paint stick to it. It's been almost a month now and the paint still looks like it came from the factory, no problems whatsoever.
