Cost of painting side view mirrors?

[WhiteDevil]

I called a paint place that is supposed to be pretty good near my house and they quoted me $100 per mirror so 200 total to paint match them to my car. Does this sound right? Any who has done them how much did you pay?

Macco???? I dont think they could screw up something like that that bad. Or you could do it yourself. Find your color code in spray cans and use a good primer. Its a small enough part you could do yourself w/o screwing up.

That sounds pretty steep. At the one I work at we'd probably charge $70-$100 for both. All you have to do is wet sand them with 600 and tape the mirror off. That price is with dupont paint too, so not junk.

go to someone else maybe a ford dealer. ask around a couple shops, maybe you'll get lucky and a shop will be painting a car your color already and you can just get them to spray the mirrors for you quick

that seems really high if you ask me.....i would definitally check a few places...when i wacked the raccoon with my mustang i went and got estimates and i got quotes of 225 and all the way up to 1175....soooo definitally do some serching.

i am going to have to agree with the spray can idea. Its all in the prep. and it isn't that hard to do. sand paper, primer, color match paint can, and top coat if needed. might cost you 50 bucks max.

my motto is, why pay someone to do something that i can do myself for less.

Get some good etching primer, sand it down good and paint it yourself. Just buy good materials and paint and it should look just fine.

like everyone else said...do it yourself. As long as you take your time and make sure you sand/prime good, u wont have any problems.

you should think about getting some M3 mirrors off of ebay that come painted black or primed so you can paint them whatever color you want. and then theyll blink too.

Not quite Laser Red, but it's close enough.
