It makes such a diff..not to really anyone but yourself, but now that my mirrors and handles are done, I'm very happy..Little mods..one at a time, haha
ha sometimes little mods are the most noticeable and the nicest
Looks good!! love both.... I love painted mirrors... as long as the portion that connects to the window is left black...
im guessing you have a gun? what are you guys who are painting at home spraying with?

Nooo..I use this

Perfect color match, and if you do it right, amazing results
If I didn't say anything, I imagine most of you (myself included) they were done professionally at a paint/body shop.
Total cost was...about $9 for paint and clear, had the tape,sand paper and newspaper
matching spraypaint for the win!! i used krylon white satin on my handles and mirrors... if i get ballsy enough, or desperate... i may attempt to do some touch-up-ing.
looks pretty good man. you did a good job with it. and wow....you masked off half of your car lol. you def didnt want any overspray did you
how many coats did you do of the Duplicolour (yes I am Canadian, hence the "u") paint match and clear coat did you do? Did u paint the backside of the handles or are they still black?

lol, looks good, kinda ballsy. I think I would have just taken it off tho. Its not that hard, just a couple of rivets and the interior panel.
holy hell, best results ive ever seen with a spray can.
amazing work, makes me kinda want to just go out and do mine now. i would never use spray paint though, no matter how good i think i could get them to come out.
nice job shaun they look relly good! did you get a hood yet
simple minds talk about other people.
average minds talk about events.
great minds discuss ideas
that looks amazing considering you sanded with 2000 grit and paint usually doesnt like to stick to something that slick.
Good job
Wow, those handles look really good. I really need to do this to mine as well.
those seriously look as good as my factory painted handles....
I am shocked at how good that looks. My only worry is that you sanded them too smooth and you made no mention of using adhesion promoter which is always a good idea with plastic.

x2
i mentioned the sanding too smooth (800 Grit is like the max you wanna sand before paint)... but yeah... he should have used bull dog as well...
i have this done to mine alone with the mirrors painted and the wing took off and i love the way it looks
I am surprised you just painted over the "Sunfire" wording instead of just taking it off! Although the handles look great!

I did about 5 thin coats on each side, Clear wise, I used Krylon gloss..Did'nt do the back so much, as I, nor really anyone else will see them..I sat on the ground and shot "up" to get the edge, and some of the backsides.

Thanks! AZNCav did them without taking them off, and they look great..so I went for it..Took me about 20 mins to get the tape "perfect".

Thanks man, also means alot coming from you..The car was $200 in October, only needing a exaust...it needs some body work, but I'm not too worried about it..This is my daily driver, won't ever be a show winner. I do love it, none the less..That being said..I trust the rattle can

Do you mean the ones on my doors? They came like that..Car is a 95, not sure if they came OEM like that, but when I got the car only 7 months ago, thats how it was..I have seen others with grey "sunfire" badging..Not really sure to be honest...From my perspective, they came that way from the factory..I could be wrong.
Thanks again for all the positive feedback guys!!! I appriciate it
Looks great considering how it was done. I've never seen rattle can turn out THAT good! Nice work.
