Default What do you think?

i am going to be painting a few things like my electrical center cap, door handles, and tail gate handle. I cant decide on what i should do for my mirrors... i can either just paint the caps and leave the rest black, or paint the whole mirror.

If you have the option to paint the whole mirror then do so... and lose the cap, make it all color matched

if its like a pepboys cap and isnt your actual cap painted chrome then you can pop it off, then youd have the black textured surface underneath.

When you get them painted they'll be sanded smooth and painted...

I'd just color match the chrome part. The black part left will match the black around the doors so it'll flow well.
