So, My cheap Black Mirror extensions are no longer Black. I love having them So I need to paint them. But What color? Any thoughts that White or green could be a good option? Any painting tips?

I think green to match the stripes would look good. Powder coating would be more durable, but would cost a lot more than painting them yourself.

I vote basic black. Unless you want to just show people it's aftermarket then the green would work.

I agree with Mr. White. Basic black unless you want to show off.

Yah, I think black is best. Thanks for the thoughts. I just wanted to run it by others to get Ideas.
I have been looking at Carbon Fiber Hydro dipping. I think that maybe to much also.

Just Black then, it is. I will try dipping on another part.

Thank you for the input
