Mirror Cap Colour Help.

Featured Replies

Just bought some yellow mirror caps for the fiesta and am having a bit of a dilemma with them.

Basically there not painted very well and need another coat of paint. The problem is I now think silver would be better to match the stripes. What you guys think?

I like yellow but can't really tell from picture the quality of paint

Wrapped in the same silver vinyl as the stripe, the mirrors, stripe and wheels all match.

My mirrors are radio grey the same as the wheels and the stripe is a close match to it.post-57375-0-32161600-1434005161_thumb.j

Looks a bit green to me.

Thinking of spraying them myself hence the question on colour. I like the idea of wrapping them Mark so will look into that first.

I'd go for the silver, personally, sticking to a theme. But yeah, if not, definitely at least another coat on there!

as someone else said, just get them wrapped?

Yellow would look good but I think would need some yellow somewhere else as well to balance it out.

If It was me I'd colour match with the stripes

Went down the spray route after finding a few cans of Moondust Silver lying arround in the shed. Just got the lacquer to do.

Looks like you done a good job on them

Yea, silver has to be the best for less drag and higher speeds.

You guys :D

Looks mint. Any plans on de-chroming?

Yep. Vinyl the door trim / rear boot handle. Not sure about the front grill.

Looks nice, good spray job as well!

That vinyl wrap is a great idea, cover all the chrome and centre part between the grill and lower valance.
