Then you should still be able to get some from a dealer and take a shot at it by yourself but you will have to call them to find out the price and quantity. Dupli-color might have it to that you can get at local parts stores for about $6 a can. About the same for clear coat.

i did mine with enamel paint that i had mixed up . i used my spray
gun. get the stuff you spray on for the paint to stick better to them

and take the mirrors apart to spray it. i think i paid

$20.00 for a pint.
