Hey guys. I am planning on a black roof wrap and black spoiler for my car. I really want to get my mirror caps blacked out to match the black roof and spoiler. I was quoted $150 ($75 each) to wrap the mirror caps. This seems expensive for what it is so I have been thinking about doing plast-dip instead.
How long could I expect the plasti-dip to hold up on the mirror caps? I don't really want to be re-doing this all the time but if it would last 2 years+ it wouldn't be that big of a deal.
I could also paint the caps but I like the idea of being able to retain the stock color underneath in case I want to go back to VB or I sell the car and the next owner doesn't like the black accents. I looked at new OEM caps from Ford to get painted black but they would cost $150 plus paint.
If I could find someone with some used, take off caps I would buy them and paint them black and just have two sets. There are some in the classifieds right now for base mirrors but I need caps for a GT premium with the turn signal...
Thanks for the help!
