  • painted the mirrors today.

    Was slow at work today so I pulled the car into the shop and pulled the mirrors off the car. (have to pull the door panels due to the connector for the mirrors are behind it.)

    Took them over to the bodyshop and had our painter spray them the body colour. Not the best pics due to the lighting in the shop, but you get the picture.





    Also pulled the little square GM badges off the doors too... Just not digging them at all.





    Looks heaps better with the mirrors painted to match. He had to add 3 extra coats of clear to make them look smooth due to the mirror plastic is rough textured. Said it was easier to just add more clear coat than to fuck around sanding down the clear to get it smooth due to the roughness.

          Hey, thats the ticket. I want to paint mine in the future, plus the rocker panels and the rear lower facia. I don't know why they painted them black. Looks like sh====t. Oh well plenty to do.

              you could always buy the clear LED arrows off Ebay, run the wire behind the mirror into the door and into the cabin and connect the wire to one of your turn signal wires. I've always wanted to try the ones they sell on Ebay but its kinda a lot of work to get those wires ran through the door.

                What a few guys, I work with have done, is take a set of the truck mirrors with the turn signal in them. He then took apart his stock mirror on his car, and then had a friend who runs a glass buisness recut the Yukon mirror glass to the size of his stock car's mirrors. Pulled the mirror portion out of the plastic mirror holding piece and glued the new recut turn signal mirror glass in place. Wired it up to work with the turn signals. Alot of work but can be done.

                        cost me $20 (canadian) due to I'm friends with the painter from the bodyshop here at work and it was done just on the side.

                            omg that looks so good, I think it wouldnt make the car look AS nicer if it werent a bright color like yours is though. Like on a gray g6 getting the mirrors painted it wouldnt make as much of a difference as a blue one

                              yeah I'd like to pain mine but I don't think it will matter too much on a granite metallic body.
