When I got home from work I removed the rear view mirror and masked off the front, the day/night tab and the mounting arm. I wiped it off with some alcohol to get rid of my finger grease and sprayed on coat number one.
The cover that is on the Mazdaspeed mirror is nice and smooth and glossy. The stock mirror housing is matte black and has a pebbled finish. I had zero plans of trying to sand it down to smooth, that is way too much work, I’m just want to make it car colored. This paint that came from PaintScratch.com is pretty thin so I knew I’d need a few coats to get the black mirror to look Garnet Red and so far I am up to 5 and it is starting to get there. Probably get one more on tonight and then a couple three in the morning. Hopefully that’ll do it.
I know now that if I do decide to do the brake calipers, I’ll prime them with some silver first…
