To remove mirror back cover, you need remove the mirror it self and then push these clips by pick or something and mirror cover is in your hands without any problems :)

[@paulorrell5942]

Nice finish and money saving tip 👍

[@GeorgeAusters]

Thanks , good job it was very informative , I liked the vid !

[@mikkejalonen9050]

In my e60 the black part wich connects to the door has lost paint and its like a grey color

[@SoloTravel.D]

what about a video ceramic coating your car?
or what should we use for the black trim to bring it back to life

[@GeorgeAusters]

Not a bad shout that mate. I need to get some polishing equipment before thinking about ceramic coating it though!

[@SoloTravel.D]

@@GeorgeAusters would be great ... i changed my e 90 same colour as yours for an f30 black ... and it.s a pain in my ass to keep it clean ... that's the only thing i regret (the colour)

[@martinmaxwell3101]

George, nice job, BUT , it may peel due to not dusting the bare sanded plastic with PLASTIC primer prior to the grey primer. Just a tip for when you do other side lad .

[@GeorgeAusters]

No issues with peeling so far👍🏻

[@GeorgeAusters]

I believe that primer is for plastic and metal

[@joejoejoejoejoejoej]

Did you buff up the whole thing with fine grit and diamond paste?
Nicely done....
I’m same as you - perfectionist but not professional !!! And I always get a very slight orange peel.... bloody paint !!!

[@GeorgeAusters]

I didn’t but it did get polished when my car was detailed👍🏻

[@williamevans9426]

Shouid the paint coats be sanded before applying another, of should the paint layers just be applied on top of one another 'from the can'? Many thanks!

[@Adistar-gtm]

If you fine sand the paint between layers after you allow it to dry you'll get rid of the orange peel... After the final 3000 sanding apply the clear coat/lacquer.

[@williamevans9426]

@@Adistar-gtm Many thanks!

[@Adistar-gtm]

⁠@@williamevans9426 you're welcome. Remember the more time you spend prepping the surface then the primer then the sanding of the layers the better mirror finish you'll achieve. You can even go to 5000grit for the final layer before clear coat. But for mirrors I don't think it's worth it. For a hood or other big plane panels, absolutely.

For future reference black is easy to match silver is a bi*ch lol if you ever need a bit of paint advice message me mate 👍
