So, my wing mirrors were in poor shape, faded and looking awful and I wanted to replace them. Before doing so I thought I'd have a go at painting them.

If you look at the pictures you can see the results are great, really impressed. I used VHT spray paint, I had a few cans lying around as I used them on my motorbike forks. The finish on metal is almost powder coat quality, gives a baked on ceramic appearance.

The plastic mirrors now look as good as new so I'm going to use this on my bumpers and trim.

Certainly a huge improvement from what I can see. Thinking if giving mine a couple of coats of high build before top coating to 'lessen' the texture of the plastic. May work - may not!!

Wow! Great results, I may try this myself

Did my grills, really perks the van up. Will do mirrors as well, looks good.

Yeah did my grills as well, great result, will do my mirrors next
