Both of my side mirrors had almost no paint left on them at all, and the roof panel wasn't much better. I wanted to go with gloss black on the roof, mirrors, and side pillars (B Pillars). The mirrors came out great. The roof will need a few more coats and some sanding. For now I only painted the section of the roof where the t-tops would be. From 20 feet away it looks like a t-top car now. When I finish it in a few days I am going to paint the side pillars as well.

Re: Painted Mirrors and Roof
Just an update (if anyone is interested), the piant cured really well and came out better then I thought it would. The mirrors will require very little wet sanding, maybe just a good polishing. The roof will probably require a bit of wet sanding and then a good polishing. All in all I am very pleased with the result.
I remember when I was shaking the rattle can I thought to myself, "Should I be doing this to my car?".
When I look at it now I am glad I finally did it...

Re: Painted Mirrors and Roof
hey thats great, you can tell its spraypaint but it looks like a good job, probably redo it in a couple of months from chips and peeling or something?
Looks like you did it good too, I don't see any smudge or runs and build ups.

Re: Painted Mirrors and Roof
Although I think the roof came out pretty bad out of all three components, I guess you have to make-due with what you have. Not everyone has access to a compressor, spraygun, paint, etc. I'm sure it looks better than rust, chips, fading & peeling though...sigpic
