My paint efforts

[Niles]

New car, knackered paint on the wing mirrors, 1 sodding week of sodding around (my partners moaned a bit), 5 coats of primer, 4 coats of silver, rub with 1500 grit wet & dry, 3 coats of clear coat & BINGO. Nice & shiney. (next git who ****s my wing mirrors will have to have an 850 surgically removed from thier ear 'ole!)
Before the trauma....

I used cans, Not the best way but no choice, I love doing it! Id kit my garage out with spray bits if I could.

[dafinchie]

You've done a great job there, i must do mine sometime, along with everything else

Excellent job. Do the covers come off or did you have to do them in situ.

[Niles]

they come off, prize off the mirror glass, then theres 4 clips that hold the cover on, unclip them then wiggle the cover off as theres 2 more clippy bits at the end of the cover nearset the car. Not hard but be careful when removing the mirror glass. (I cracked 1 of mine).

Thanks for that, i've got a spare mirror glass in my shop just in case it goes wrong.
