Black exterior touch up
 

If i wanted to repaint some of the faded plastic what grit sandpaper would i use? Im assuming paint it with some high gloss black?

I just redid mine and I used a combination of 180 and 220 grit then 4 coats of filler primer then 4 coats of gloss black I will post up pics when I get a chance I took a few pics. I used the duplicolor gloss black which turned out really nice!!

Ok ill go ahead and get the stuff. Any particular filler primer?

I used the duplicolor filler primer and color I used was the light grey, but as long as it says filler primer on it I don't think it matters. I got all the stuff I used at autozone for under 20 bucks!!

im going to paint my side mirrors when i do my bumper. what grit would i use to scuff these up?

RE: Black exterior touch up
 

Just clean them with dish washing liquid to get rid of any armor-all and paint them with krylon fusion. Thats what I did and they haven't faded at all. You shouldn't need to scuff them up or anything.

Ok. My driver side mirror was busted out by some punk, does advance auto or a local place carry these in stock?

RE: Black exterior touch up
 

Depends. They won't have the power mirror, but if its the mirror like this...

...they will have it in stock.

I'd scuff it up with at least 400 to give the primer something to bite to. That or use self etching primer before the filler primer. What ever you do just make sure you use the same line of products, don't mix and match brands on paint and primer. Nothing like getting done spraying and come back the next day to find out your paint didn't like your primer.

ok heres what i need to repaint and get looking good again.

any suggestions other than above?

RE: Black exterior touch up
 

heres what i need to replace. advance only had the entire assembly. they are electric mirrors but i dont care about replacing that.

RE: Black exterior touch up
 

I have the same mirrors, if someone busted my mirror I'd thank them. They're ugly mirrors indeed. I really want to change my side view mirrors. If anything I'd get the smaller ones that the earlier Blazers came with.

RE: Black exterior touch up
 

I dont think you can just replace the mirror, you may have to buy the whole new assembly

This may be too late... but the best way to replaceonly the mirroris to go to a glass shop and have them fit and cut a mirror out. Saved us 50 bucks on our silverado.
