I have some touch up to do and am looking for the best way to achieve reasonable results at a minimum cost. One item I am painting is mirror covers. Now one just might say go to the jy and get the correct color, end of story. Normally that would be the way to do it, but you see I miss the heated mirrors like on my 95 Tour, when I driving my 99. The 99 color is not available in the old style mirrors (95-97 heated). The new style mirror covers will not fit on the old style frames. Ford did this to keep you from making the change easily. Solution paint the old style with the correct color. If I took them to a shop it's about $200 (I talked to several around here +/- a couple of bucks) to paint a couple of mirror covers. To me that is just a rip off. Using spray cans about $50. That is the basis for my questions below.
1) have you used any of these color matched paints in 11-12oz spray cans?
2) if so what results did you get from them?
3) how many steps was the process ie: primer, base, & clear coat?
4) which if any brand / supplier is best and why?
Thanks,
AF
