Painted the mirrors

I painted my truck mirrors this week since I have been on leave went pretty good. I used the Krylon Plastic paint we will see how long it lasts hopefully quite a while no need for primer though. Check it out in my gallery.

I'll post your picture up here so everyone can see.

They look pretty good Devin, I have a set of 07 mirrors that need to go on my truck that I plan on painting white to match my truck give it the KR look. How many coats did you put on it, seems to match the truck well.

Man that looks good. I have used the Krylon fusion paint before and had good luck with it.

Looks good!! To make it complete, you need some white door handles and white accenting on the grill. I'm thinking of painting my grill white where the non-chrome parts are...

It doesn't seem noticeable (sp) different to me at all I think it looks the same. It does catch your eye when driving though since you are use to the black I like them alot better now.
