paintscratch.com Its a great match to the factory paint but it sucks it took 2 weeks to get it since it was custom mixed and has to be shipped by ground from CA.

also, a local paint shop will mix it for you while you wait. should be cheaper that way.

When you sand your mirrors wear gloves! I diden't it sanded myself on accident and when you sand fast it creates friction and it got hot REAL FAST. I wonder if using 100, 200, 300, primer, 400 wet sand, 400 dry would bring the same results?

hows about i mail you my mirrors and you tell me

so about how many hours would you say went strictly to sanding? i would love to do it myself but i would rather do it all at once even if it took the entire day, that way i won't have to drive around with half *** mirrors until i'm done
