I recently purchased a set of E36 M3 replica mirrors from DDM. I took them to a local paint shop (Spectrum in Irvine, CA) and they refused to paint them since they were concerned about the potential quality of the job. Since the glass seems to be glued, they didn't think they could paint deep enough into the interior of the mirror (behind the glass) without removing the glass. My car is Alpineweiss so the contrast would be significant. Has anyone else dealt with painting these mirrors a high-contrast color?
