Last night's boredom results in....

[groundshock]

Smoothed and painted mirror covers!

Tight. And so easy. Should've done it the day it was bought.

 

[TexazReece]

Color matched mirror caps make it look a lot better

 

[jham]

Very nice

 

[Regulator]

How did you smooth them out?

 

[DJones]

Now you'll want to add the signals to the bottom. Looks good too.

 

[groundshock]

Yup, I'll be adding the signals as soon as I can find a decent deal on the parts.

As far as smoothing them, very simple. Sanded them down with 180 grit paper until i got down under the bumps (didn't take much) then smoothed out with 600.

Prep with wax and grease remover, then one coat plastic primer, 3 coats red, 4 coats clear, and an overnight dry in the house.

Simple, effective, easy, and about 30 bucks total. Win!

Very nice! Just what I was hopeing to see. Wanted to know what it looked like in our color.

 

[CruzinQueen]

That looks extra HOT on the red. Not too many red 'Blazers on the road. Very nice!

 

[groundshock]

When I was looking for a TrailBlazer I had to have the victory red. Luckily I ended up finding a really nice one locally that was well taken care of. Shame they only made this color one year.

 

[fishguy1123]

I see alot of 360's around here but only a couple that are victory red. Didn't realize it was an 02 only color...

 

[MAY03LT]

Looks good man. That has been on the to do list for a while.

 

[Boricua SS]

the little things that are taken for granted look the best... nice addition... now you just gotta do the door handles

 

[barron03]

Looks Good

 

[tbuckalew14]

Looks real nice. pretty good color match too.

 

[smitty5150]

Love it! Color match is great, and the hard work really paid off.

 

[fishguy1123]

I blame you! View attachment 19359

 

[groundshock]

LMAO, effin awesome man. Dupli-Color too, I assume?

Looks great.

 

[fishguy1123]

Yep! Sure is. Thanks, I tinted the mirror turns to. Probly get some leds to replace the factory bulbs but they still work ok for now.

 

[TXBlazer]

You're going to want to do this to your mirrors next.....

 

[fishguy1123]

Aww crap! You just had to post that didn't ya?

 

[Cable810]

Lookin good

 

[fletch09]

looking sharp
wish they offered the victory red more than just the one year.

 

[Blckshdw]

You're going to want to do this to your mirrors next.....

Quit reminding me... Did your mirrors get sanded down smooth first, or was it just a good sand job on the paint?

 

[groundshock]

You're going to want to do this to your mirrors next.....

Eh... idk man. It looks real good on your color, but I think it'd be too much on the red.
