use some 2k can clear coat from a body supply store. Ive used it for trim work and it lays perfect. its the exact same stuff they use in a body shop. I spray clear from my gun too but something small i use a can
This is why if you have the time and money buy another set of mirrors, take them apart, properly paint them properly assemble them, and the probability of you seeing black as low to none. In my situation I just bought an F150 that has the big square towing mirrors that I don’t necessarily love. I got a set of the Ford style towing mirrors with the cut offs on the edges and I’m just going to take those apart paint match them, and then just do installation as one process, if you don’t have an extra 300 bucks, maybe you should be modifying something as simple as your mirrors…that’s for anyone saying anything about modifications. if you don’t have the money to do it twice or even three times depending on what exactly you’re trying to change and you probably shouldn’t be changing it.
Black doesn’t bother me and when prepped correctly they can hold up just fine. These still look like the day I done them and it’s been years. No chipping around the edges like everyone claims they’ll do. Do it right and they’ll be fine. The black doesn’t bother me cause they’re never folded in really. And if it does oh we’ll see some black on the mirror until they’re folded back out it’s not the end of the world in my eyes. Lol. Thanks for watching !
@@JUSTINHAWKSMITH ofc! I knew it was possible, you can paint plastic and chrome and it WILL last with good prep I wish I had a vid of how to disassemble so they are 100% painted
First off subbed after binge watching your vids! Awesome content bro!! Second Is your trucks paint stock with that rainbow glitter scheme? Your truck looks dank !!!
How much does one spray max can cover? Am going to do the side mirrors but not sure if it’s wasting a whole can. Reason I ask is because I will be doing the rear bumper and door handles in the next few weeks. Not sure if one can is a waste to use it now when it might have enough juice for a few other items
Just a question why did you remove the door panels to take off the mirror it only requires the little black piece up to to come off to access all four bolts
This is all so sick! Love the painted windshield cowl! Was the WS cowl smoothing and painting the same process as these mirror bodies? Same paper grits and high-build primer, etc.? I’m definitely doing this all to my 2022, but I think I’ll shoot everything with PPG/DuPont if the price is right. I just hope the damn paint doesn’t chip when they extend out/fold up… That antenna for looks or does it actually get good reception? Craven Speed seems to have the best one out there for those of us that are lame and still tune into local stations from time to time. 😂
Unfortunately I’m not sure about there website, I buy all my paint from a local auto body paint shop, there’s more than likely probably one near you as well. Any body shop would know where to buy some locally I would think.. or google automotive paint stores near me !
I’m thinking about doing my side bed rail caps on my 07 all Murdered put f150, is this worth it or should I just repaint with like trim and bumper paint?
Yessir 2k spray max clear is awesome. Sadly it still will change the color slightly compared to spraying clear out of a gun. But as far as finish goes you can get a awesome finish out of 2K Clear
King Pin Fabrications YOU got it! Sounds like a plan. I want to leave my bumper chrome cause I think it accents it well... so wasn’t sure if I should PTM the grille or not, but I like your thinking !
JUSTINHAWKSMITH pretty much my thinking about my truck. The chrome on the bumper accents my forces really well but part of me thinks color match might be sweet too. I’m definitely painting my grille to avoid the chrome bubbling. I’ll probably just buy a billet mesh grille and paint match the outside, and I’d like to get a cowl hood
King Pin Fabrications I love my hood, and yeah I’m thinking about buying a primered new grille on amazon/eBay cause they’re not super pricey. Exactly like what I have, just in case I don’t like it I can go back to chrome. And could always sell my chrome grille if I did like the paint to match one. And paint would hold up better on a primered one VS painting a chrome one! They say... give me a follow on Instagram and I’ll follow you back and check out your truck! Looks sick by your profile picture
JUSTINHAWKSMITH oh ok. I thought you meant you recharged an aerosol can and fillies it with rubbing alcohol. I’m thinking of doing that it may work amazing
What color is this. Is it AQ? Arizona Quartzite? Looks darker... Nice truck. Mine is a 350 want to do the color matching you've done. Thanks for posting. Subbed.
It is T7 paint code charcoal beige metallic! THANKS much for the sub i appreciate that. And as always if you have any questions feel free to comment or direct message me on my instagram account. Username same as my youtube channel!
Boy u fire . I started my own company doing all this paint match month ago . I have ten customers already
dude thats awesome! thanks for watching please use good ventilation and paint mask
use some 2k can clear coat from a body supply store. Ive used it for trim work and it lays perfect. its the exact same stuff they use in a body shop. I spray clear from my gun too but something small i use a can
Looks great I just worry about seeing black when I fold them in or seeing it behind the glass

@@adiaz2938 I thought about this bc my 6.7 is parked all winter bit idk how to take them apart no one has a video on power folds

Can you please provide a link to the best tow mirrors that are switchback for a 2007 F250 SuperDuty? The ones I bought off Amazon are NOT a good fit!
First off subbed after binge watching your vids! Awesome content bro!!
Second

Your truck looks dank !!!
THANKS MAN!! appreciate the support and yessir this is factory paint, ford T7 charcoal beige metallic!
I my opinion it looks better leveled then it does now looks cool lifted it’s just my opinion keep on going 😂

The ones I have don’t cover as much as I’d like honestly. I can’t remember if it was 4 or 5 cans I used on these mirrors.
Do you have a video on paint the ford emblem?
Just a question why did you remove the door panels to take off the mirror it only requires the little black piece up to to come off to access all four bolts
Power plug in , is behind door panel.
This is all so sick! Love the painted windshield cowl! Was the WS cowl smoothing and painting the same process as these mirror bodies? Same paper grits and high-build primer, etc.?

What’s the purpose of wet sanding them before clear?
Reduced orange peel and maximum clear coat adhesion
Where did you get the color match paint from ?
Whats your color code on the rig? The mirrors came out 🔥
These don’t have puddle lamps because I’m a peasant 😂😂😂😂 lmao that’s awesome
Love when people are humble...
You think this would work with vinyl wrap over it ? I want to do my grand Cherokee plastic trim
Is there a why I can get you to build me some color matched stuff?
Yessir dm me on Instagram
Is it ok to push in the mirrors once it dries? it won't crack the clear coat where the mirrors slide in?
yessir perfectly fine ive not had any problems
Very nice truck , with the perfect color and paint job. Do you do paint work ?
Did you sand the paint after the first coat? Or
How much to body shop charge on clear coat
Did you ever paint the inside with it folded?
It just wears off
What paper did u use to wet sand
Where did u go to get custom spray paint
How did you find color matched spray max? On the website they just have black
66 auto color sells it for about 45 a can which includes shipping
Why did you pull the door panel off just to take the mirrors off?? Don't understand the extra work .
@@chuckjohnson7484 because they’re power mirrors so the plug is behind the door panel.
Where did u get ur spray max paint at for the color match
Where did you get your mirrors at?
I’m trying to follow the steps you did and I’m on spray max website and there so many options can you help?
Unfortunately I’m not sure about there website, I buy all my paint from a local auto body paint shop, there’s more than likely probably one near you as well. Any body shop would know where to buy some locally I would think.. or google automotive paint stores near me !
I’m thinking about doing my side bed rail caps on my 07 all Murdered put f150, is this worth it or should I just repaint with like trim and bumper paint?
I want to paint them gloss black.
If you want them glossy black.. then Definitley would have to smooth them out and paint them like a body panel
Have you used 2k spray max clear
Yessir 2k spray max clear is awesome. Sadly it still will change the color slightly compared to spraying clear out of a gun. But as far as finish goes you can get a awesome finish out of 2K Clear
Where do you get your paint code paint at?
A local body paint store
How much paint did it take to paint the mirrors?
how long this take?
Like a 3 or 4 days
Paint match grille and headlights🤟🏻

Where did you get hood at?
How did you color match your door handles?
They were just scuffed and sprayed as well.
JUSTINHAWKSMITH where did you get your hood, who’s the manufacturer?
Did you just put rubbing alcohol on a microfiber to clean or what?
Put it in a spray gun on 60psi half water half alcohol. Then compressed air only
JUSTINHAWKSMITH oh so you filled a metal can with it?
Bobby Roberts no I put alcohol and water in my paint gun and ran it thru my paint gun at 60psi.
JUSTINHAWKSMITH oh ok. I thought you meant you recharged an aerosol can and fillies it with rubbing alcohol. I’m thinking of doing that it may work amazing
What’s the paint on that
T7 charcoal beige metallic
