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. |

Yes all the mirror is painted in gloss black. I stripped the mirror down before painting it so they are even gloss black behind the motor!! |

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 ?________________________________________ CLUB BLACK RALLYE||B8s||60-70mm drop||Black Partner Steels||P1 VTS Rack||Refurbed Beam||Hybrid ARB||VTS Torsion Bar|| |

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 result |

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...?________________________________________ CLUB BLACK RALLYE||B8s||60-70mm drop||Black Partner Steels||P1 VTS Rack||Refurbed Beam||Hybrid ARB||VTS Torsion Bar|| |
