  • What color?

    I installed my Protege mirrors on my Festy yesterday, and asking for opinions on what color I should paint them. Looking at my avatar or my photo album, you will see I have a RED Festy with the BLACK trim color around the window/pillar area. Whwere the mirrors bolt on is black.
    So... what color RED or BLACK? I am leaning towards black.

    I think you should go black. I think black mirrors would fit the black wheels, black bumpers, and black around the windows.

        Me thinks I did! :p Weather permitting, they will be sprayed black tonight, after work.
        Now, its either black trim paint that I did my Nissan wipers with, or a full on gloss black.

                            Oh thats it! Painting the whole car PINK, with tassles, daisies, polka dots, and the works this weekend!

                            (Actually, I think the tassles would look better on Tom's car)

                              BTW. I got the computer working!!!!! Yea! A $20 dual core!!!! Pics of Protege mirror fix, and painted and installed on car, soon!
                              I painted them gloss black, and after looking at them, not sure, maybe I should have made them red. Might have to paint one red to see. I'll wait til I get used to them black first. I had the regular old festy mirror, on driver side only, before.
