Anybody have any ideas how much it would cost to get my side moldings and mirrors painted? I have an 05 sonic blue v6. I know that was the only year the s197 was made in that color, would this make any difference? Just looking to get the painted to match the car.

Just to give you an example, I paid $200 to have my rear bumper painted.

make sure whomever you choose knows how
to properly prep/paint plastic. Those who don't
suffer from excessive "paint dandruff". It can
be done right, but make sure the painter is
experienced.

you can buy painted covers for your mirrors from a couple sites, not sure if they carry Sonic Blue though...

Yea, finding sonic blue parts seems to be tough as it was the only year they had it in the s197. Personally I like it better than the vista blue

I was quoted $50 to paint the mirrors torch red. The color should make no difference unless is a three stage paint job.
