Outside mirrors color

[Ronw435]

Ok, I need a little help with my outside mirrors. I am not sure what they are called but they are the ones that attach at two points and are about 10-12" long. Kind of like trailer mirrors. They were originally polished aluminum but are in really rough shape. I have tried to sand with 1000 grit and polish but it really does not do any good. They still look like crap. I was thinking of painting them along with the mounting frames.

The truck is painted British Racing Green and was wanting some suggestions on what color would go with it. I have painted the grill black because of the same reasons. Too far gone. As I live in Texas I really dont like the idea of black on the mirrors.

I am adding a picture of the truck as far as I have completed it so far.

Still have some sanding and buffing to do......


Any suggestions?

Thanks
Ron

Why not paint them the same color as the truck?
or
Get them chromed.

West coast or west coast jr mirrors is I believe what your referring too

[Ronw435]

Yes, your right 1963 that is what they are. I think they are junior ones.

I thought about painting them the same color as the truck but still have not pulled the trigger. Maybe black to match the grill? Too many decisions........lol.

I have a similarly painted truck...My mirror brackets and housings were white and I am repainting them that color as it contrasts well with the black but I have a white roof and rims as well so it works for me...

Based on your chrome accents, I would say either chrome or a nice silver color.
