Dealers say they can't be painted or have the chrome striped off cuz it's embedded in the plastic.. and then again there is alot of people who have them color match their jeep and have the chrome caps painted.


Anyone can shine some light to this subject cuz i can't stand the chrome mirror caps and i don't feel like spending hundreds of dollars to buy new altitude mirrors since jeep won't sell mirror caps by itself and ebay only has chrome caps.


Black Ops have Carbon Fiber mirror caps but I wonder if the it's going to be a big contrast if I don't have anything else carbon fiber on my jeep..


Please help

Cheers !!

They can be painted. Just had mine painted a few weeks ago. The body shop that painted mine, sanded, used self etching primer, then painted.

Yah, the shop initially didnt want to do it...but they called around and found out the self etching primer is the trick. See if you can find a place that works on classic/custom cars...they should know what they are doing.
