I know someone who did and I think it personally looks crap because of the rough texture

Sand them down yourself and spray them. Especially since your car is black, this should be a no brainer to spray em... DO IT

I personally think only the Cobra style mirrors look good painted. Stock mirrors painted to match are just too much color for me.

I painted mine myself. You have to wet sand them smooth first.
