Has anyone vinyl-wrapped their side mirrors?

[RedHotFuzz]

If so, is it a difficult or easy wrap? I can't stomach the $500 a vendor is charging for painted mirror caps.

I would just take it to a wrap shop. I bet they do both mirrors for $100.

When my Warthog arrives, I am planning to paint my side mirrors code orange to match my GEN3 Code Orange Raptor. And yes I was quoted the same .. $500

I have thought the same thing, but since I don't have mine yet, I am not sure on the MIC texture and what it might look like wrapped vs sanded smooth and painted.

Wrapping your side mirror is obviously easy . This is purely DIY Task. I have vinyl wrapped my dashboard, and roof top myself. This will help

Any pictures of dash??? I saw a really cool dash in a bronco, wasn’t sure how they achieved it, wondered if it was vinyl wrapped… I’d love to see pictures if you wouldn’t mind sharing?

I was thinking about wrapping mine gloss or satin black. Doesn't seem too hard to take the cap out of the mirror housing and do the job off the vehicle.

You don't need to remove the mirror motor. There are four clips that are reachable with a screw driver when you tilt the mirrors. Pop them, push/pull the cap, then unplug the pod light. Eezy-peezy.

I painted my mirror caps (Cyber Orange Tri-Coat). Super easy. Automotive Touch-Up Paint has all the Bronco colors.

Bump. Has anyone vinyl wrapped over MIC mirror covers? I know it may not adhere too well but wanted to hear about other experiences.

Sorry for dredging up an old post but I was hoping to find out how the paint is holding up on the mirror covers and door handles you painted. We have the exact same color BD we want to do the same thing to. Hopefully that paint is holding up well because it looks killer in the Cyber Orange!

Looks like the paint they offer is a spray can of base coat then another of clear. Was it hard to lay the paint down to look that good?

The paint is still as good as the day I applied it!

Just follow the directions. I painted mine in my garage. There are three layers..the Base, the Mid (Metallic) and the Clear Coat. Automotive Touch-up Paint is the best.

My Wildtrak is a 2022; I was bummed Ford removed the color-matched mirrors and door handles.
