If you could send me you're mirrors in exchange I could do it 50 delivered if that is reasonable for you. It will take me 2hrs and about 15pound of materials plus about 10 for postage.

Can I ask what paint you are using as I've tried halfords primer on my mirrors today and the primer won't adhere to the plastic at all... It just runs off in a mess ?

Did you properly degrease them and use a plastic primer?

    Don't know much about halfords paint but if you have prepped the mirror well and used a plastic promoter (plastic primer) you should not have any issue mate and as above degreasing is a must. I usually clean my panels about 4 times be for painting them. Cleaner the panel (mirrors) better the resultThumbs up

    Hi. Used these halfords paints on all sorts of plastic before. How does one "degrease" it tho? I cleaned it, dried it and rubbed it down lightly with sum sandpaper...?
