Gloss Black Mirror Caps

[Jamie2.0]

Hi,

I'm after some gloss deep black mirror caps to match my rear spoiler.

Can't decide if I should buy some already glossed or just print them myself. As they're small(ish) parts a trip to Halfords for a couple of rattle cans?

Has anyone done this themselves?

Cheers

J

Gloss black is one of the easier colours to paint, with a lacquer top coat. (Compared to a metallic or pearlesent or shaded mid colour)

Why not give it a go yourself......you will feel much better for it.

Just carfully remove the top covers, wet&dry to a keyed surface, add a few coats of gloss black . . . . . Then a clear top coat.... stand back and admire your new skills.

Just follow the paint instructions and watch a few YouTube videos and your have it sorted...... it's easier than you think.

I’m going to have a go at carbon fibre-ing (not a real word) mine in a couple of weeks, should be good for a laugh.

Thought I'd check with the local VW van centre before I go all Tony Hart on the wing mirrors, price and availability and all that... yeah I'll be spraying them myself!

In my mind that's how they'll look, but we'll see. I'll post pics of the results, whichever way it goes
