Now i know theirs a few threads on how to do this, i have a set of JDM mirrors and a switch and I've done this before on my ladies classic Impreza.

But as there's no JDM model with my paint code, I've had to respray the mirrors myself, and I've got to admit its not an amazing job, paint looks abit flat.

So my question is should i try to remove motors and fit them to my original mirrors?

Or get the JDM ones resprayed?

 

Respray.

 

What was your spray process? I've done my rear corners, side skirts and front splitter, each time I seem to get them more glossy\shiny looking. They will never be showroom finish but happy given it cost a fraction of taking it to a professional.

 

First I rub them done, then use wet micro fibre cloth to clean of dust. Mask and primer, leave to dry then respray with colour, dry then lacquer. Mines almost a 2 tone colour.

 

no primer or clear coat ?

 

Edited.

 

So guessing it's to much of a faff to swap motors over?

 

My effort respraying my mirrors.
