gmJake Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 Thanks for that link Jake. I wanna paint mine this summer. That's if summer ever gets here. Snowing again today. I need a garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

March always feels like it's three months long. No snow here but lots of wind and rain. My GF has a decent barn but I sure would like a garage right here, too.

kelleyperformance Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 i painted all mine and a bunch of peoples trucks... like said above we just paint them in the folded position as they do not disassemble. honestly there is no visible clear line and the process i use lasts- so far oldest set is 6 years and not one chip off the plastic even with impact into garbage cans, etc. its a little mod but man does it make a huge difference! dont have any great pics showing mirrors but heres some- keep in mind, they cannot just be cleaned and sprayed- not only will the texture most likely show through but paint will chip off in large chips due to the fact paint will not adhere to plastic. there is a special process to do these correctly. good luck!
