07Burb's 2003 Silverado Extended Cab Short Bed Build

[07Burb]

should paint it to match before swapping it out

It will be painted to match along with my other handles but right now I can't even open my tailgate without a screwdriver so I'm putting it in for now and will paint to match it later on when I get my other paint work done. Mirrors and door handles arriving this week. Still working on getting the other bits that will need colormatched (grill, bumpers, new hood,....). Once I have all those things gathered I'll start worrying about paint and what/when to do it.

The whole mirror will be the OEM color of the truck. So I'll be staying with the Dark Gray Charcoal color as I do like the color but the in the end I'm betting that the truck gets a full repaint with everything that needs paint especially since the hood will need painted once that is found.

trying to decided if I just want to do the caps or the whole thing. I thing the whole mirror done looks good on these
