Thinking about repainting my side mirror.... never done any paint work before....

My pass. side mirror's finish is coming off and is faded is some spots... I was thinking about repainting it gross black. What would be involeved in this?? I know I would have to sand and paint it and all that, but I know I could also buy another one from a recycling yard. Do you think it is worth it?

Why not paint it? This would be an excellent first project. And if you screw it up you can still get one from a recycler.

I've been wanting to learn a thing or two on painting for some time...

Here's some things I've come across helpful for body work.

Check out the front end paint guide on Brent Franker's Web Site...and also check out your library on auto body and auto painting books. I found a lot there.
