Pics will be a must when done :) I to was thinking of the chrome mirror covers so I would like a close up pic of them if yo can,, But I am now thinking of stock chrome mirroros from a scrap yard as they avg 59$ each and may look better,same with the door handles. Found stock chrome handles areoun 160$ and after market complete around 75$/100$ on Ebay. But I am starting to like the non chrome upper 1/2 a bit better :) But then again I change my mind all the time :)

I see your point. There are great condition part in junkyars and better on the wallet than buying new. The mirror cover I think is the way to go due to the mirrors are out in the airflow and could take a hit. If so I just buy a new set of covers and we are down the road. If I replace them with real chrome mirrrors and they take a hit, well then I have to replace the whole mirror. As far as the door handles go, I like the painted look and will stick to it. They seem to be easy to clean and polish and they blend with the car.

So I started painting my chrome to black, I've never really done any painting that mattered so I was nervous about it but so far the roof rack caps are done and today hopefully the mirror covers and grille. I was going to post pics but they're on my phone and I don't know how lol.
Also, should I put clear coat on? I used VHT epoxy flat black i don't know if clear coat is a must or not.
