It’s to be hoped that no one has shot out to the car & made a shit show on the back of my poor memory.

If you had a left bugger you would have the set!I have, in the past, been critical of the purveyors of duff information & to find I’m involved in the same caper is a right bugger.

The result of my attempt was excellent even though I say so myself. At this point if I were to give advice on this topic I would say my only concern was to obtain a good match to the Firefrost red of my TF. I took the mirror head to a local paint supplier Carlac ( other specialist companies are available) who are good at this sort of job. My only other concern was having to leave the mirror head with them for a couple of days for them to match the paint, as there is always a chance that it could have been lost. I bought three large rattle cans of primer, colour and lacquer , plus some 1200 and 1500 grit wet and dry. Another tip would be to get plenty of all three coatings on and let them fully dry overnight whilst also flatting down between coats. The finish I achieved was so good it put the other mirror back to shame but I'll be leaving that job for overwinter when the car is sorned.

Hhmmm maybe I'll lash out on a bodyshop job... once I see the magic phrase "remove the door cards", I know it's beyond my increasingly shaky fingers/blurry eyes/short temper!
