DIY Re-Spary!

Almost 4 years already, got to re paint all those badges and strips again, cuz it was so dirt and it can't be clean up that easy.
And also i would like to paint my wing mirrors to black, to match the rest.

Okay lets start from the wing mirrors!

1) Start from the bottom.


2) give it a really big "pull"
3) It is off!
4) Just take it out, easy!
5) Okay the mirror cover is now off!
6) Here is the whole unit!
7) The other side would be the same, no unscrew needed!

8) Masked the area with masking tapes,
to make sure it will be in the right place after u done the job.

9) take off your badges 10) take off the white strip, it holed by some clips around it.

11) Here is how the clips look like

12) Apply primer paint on the parts you need to paint.

13) Paint it to matt black!! and matt white!!!
I simply use tamiya spray paint TS-6(Matt Black) and TS 27 (Matt White).
14) Be sure you paint a few coats on the surface,
otherwise it will come off easily by stone chips!

15) Let it dry for a day or so, before you install it back!
16) apply some wax on the parts, it makes the best shine! :p
17) Apply double sided tapes on badges
17) After it polished!


18) Installed back to place
19) Badge-less

20) Spotted the different now? Later on need a front lip...

What a job... it took 2-3 days to complete the job, is it hard? um... if u know how to paint and remove stuff from your car.
