Re: painting the side view mirrors

Are you talkin' about the mirror surface itself or the entire mirror housing???

Housings should be sprayed right along with the model to eliminate any sort of color difference.

Mirror surfaces are best represented my either Bare Metal Foil or Mylar. Mylar looks the best though!

I get so upset that the entire model is 'destroyed' from that bad paint.

Calm down, brutha! It only gets better

I have difficulty in painting those mirrors. They never come out right ie, bubbles, rough paint surface, anything you can think of, they happened whenever I paint those mirrors.


I would greatly appreciate any tips, hints on painting the mirrors. Also, how can i remedy those that i have painted and ruined.

Thank you.
