Thanks man. Quite a bit of work but well worth the look in my opinion.

I started with 180/320 grit to get the texture off of the factory mirrors, then sprayed with adhesion promoter. After three or four coats of primer I wet-sanded with 600 grit. Then basecoated them, then clear coated them, and then wet-sanded again with 2500 grit 48 hours later. Finished them off with some Meguiars polish and they are awfully shiny! I might paint the factory ones that came off the car with the leftover paint and do a how-to if that would help anyone.
