I've been thinking about getting my Spoons painted recently, but I haven't decided. I think it would look very good on black though, no question about it

I think they look good black if you have dark wheels or black moldings or something. But if all the moldings are painted, paint the mirrors as well. Just my .02.

Re: (marty)

They're not Spoon replicas, so the base is a little different. It pushes the mirror out at an angle, so you get better visibility. Look good painted

Paint them black

I am thinking about doing the same thing. I think it would make a black car look much cleaner.

I really don't know if you can tell, but the base is black and the housing is red.

Ha ha ha ha ha, those mirrors are really small, I didn't realize they were that small. They look like little squirel ears or something.

Re: Paint Spoon style mirrors on EG? (MTK Kommander)

leave them unpainted
i think all mirros look better unpainted.

unless its significantly apart from the base...so that you can just paint the mirror caps
