  • Finish wearing off

    Hi guys,

    I've got a 2000 with metallic silver paint-job, but on the passenger mirror the finish seems to have come off the top leaving it yellowed with a kinda cracked-skin look. Is there anything i can do to restore it or will i need it repainted since it has already done damage to the paint?

    most likely it'll need repainted... there is a writeup on here somewhere by gr8schlotzky, I believe, that shows you how to do it yourself...

        HMM, that looks like I could do it, now the only problem is that the mirror is pinstriped...got anything about removing and replacing pinstriping?

              whoa whoa paint scheme sounds kinda corny, but post some pics when you can it might not be as bad as I think.

                    Heres a link to a set of pics which show the paint and the mirror in question. Personally I like the paint job, so I want to keep it, even the pin striping.
