    How would they look considering the surface of the mirror housing?

    I was thinkin about doin it. But I think it will be too much. I think too much of one color will be a lot to try to focus on. Lol I know that's kinda confusing.

    Nah I know what you mean..i like the stock black look personally..only a few cars ive seen with painted mirrors can really pull it off..sometimes it just looks way too over done.

    if you do it make sure you use a "high fill" primer. use a couple coats of it and sand in between coats. this method will make them as smooth as the rest of your car.
