12129, how much for painting mirrors??
Posted by proDMD, Jan-16-02 06:22 PM
I just bought some m3 style mirrors in black what will it cost me to get them painted? How should they be painted? Do they need to be primed and have a clearcoat? Also same Question for the door handles
Jsut looking for ballpark figures
Thanks

Primer is optional. Wet sand it, and primer would be a good idea I guess. Paint and clear coat for a pair of mirrors would probably be around 50 bucks using PPG paint, door handles would be a LOT more unless you can take them off the car (including the lock). It's a real pain to take off the lock and try to reinstall it afterwards.

200 for the shop to take off handles, paint, re-install, take off my mirrors, paint M3 style mirrors, and install them. They said the mirrors were a pain.

why did the shop say the m3 mirrors were a pain? Hard to paint or put on?

both, painting between the 2 "stems" and figuring out how to remove the stockers. Body shops here suck ballz.
