Wing mirror shiny again

[tan55555]

The back of my driver's wing mirror had become very crazed. There was an invoice for a replacement mirror from a main dealer years ago, and shockingly this is what happened to their paint job.
A local SMART repairer in Taunton had done a brilliant job, feels so satisfying to get these little niggles sorted.

You could have just taken the mirrors off . It's two bolts

I might need to do that at some point anyway, the outside temperature sensor was playing up over winter, but seems fine now it is warmer.

I did mine . Its does nt take lone to remove them and strip out the glass etc . I hung them up in the garage and sprayed mine . I used some of that 2 pack laquer in a can to finish them off .

I found that warming them with a hairdryer first makes the paint go on better .

The bit that takes the time is taking the door card off.
