    Painting Mirrors and moldings

    Guys quick question.

    I read that SEM was used for the mirrors. What make? Where can I find? Pepboys? Flat black?

    Also, I was to spruce up the molding that covers the chrome bumpers (84-87). I am refering to the ones that house the corner marker lights and sit on top of the bumpers themselves (not the ones that would touch someone's bumper if you backed into it.)

    It cant be the same trim paint that is used from the windshield wipers, and pillars etc.

    Any help is appreciated.

    I painted my mirrors black today actually. With spray paint specifically for plastic. Not sure if that is helpful, but it came out pretty nicely IMO.

      I'm heading to Pepboys this weekend. Would be nice to have something OEM like.

        There is an automotive paint store in simi valley,ca that sells SEM.

        I'm all there! Taping took me hours!!! But well worth it to preserve the paint and what little overspray there was was treated with thinnner. Car is looking great,

            I did my old mirrors with mirror/bumper/trim paint. Shot really easy and looked great.

            I'll be body matching for the is though.
