Hi could i paint the black mirrors on my car, blue to match the colour of my car. Or could i get some new or used mirrors and change them?

If i wanted to paint them how easy is it to do and how easy is it to take them off and put them back on? Thanks

Where would i get the paint code for them or is it worth trying to get some second hand ones?

How long would the job take?

Unless you have a white car, as Vauxhall in their glory had about 28 different paints with the same code across the range and almost none of them are white, and none of the white ones were from the same year as mine!

I know. I found it and gave it to them. Then they told me what I posted above!
