    I had to order new mirror caps after busting mine out in the woods :facepalm: and want to PTM them. Any tips on finding the right paint to do it? or should I just have it done at a shop?

    I've been wanting to do my mirrors for a while now. Just can't find my paint to do it.

    Yeah... I don't have a common color and want to make sure they'll match the metalflake and everything

    The auto value here can mix paint and put it in a spray can... I'm not sure if all auto stores do it or not?

    Make sure you do a How To on removing/installing the skull cap. I wish I knew how to pop mine off…
