need some advice...PHOTOSHOP HELP NEEDED AS WELL

this winter, some time after the new year i am planning on painting my roof black. now i am thinking to paint the side view mirrors black as well.

i have a diamond graphite sedan. there is some sort of a black/silver color scheme going on between the silver paint job/wheels and the black tires/tints.


im already confident a black roof would jsut looking smokin..

what do you think of the mirrors going black too?


if someone could photoshop these with black roof and side mirrors thatd be doing me a solid.

i have my roof painted black, as most people already know. In the future i'm going to paint the sideview mirrors and the base gloss black along with the window trim. And the windows will be tinted 15% all around and 5 in the back so it'll keep a uniform black look.

So it's obvious that my opinion is that it will look really good
I say do it Bill.

I was going to paint my door hanldles and window molding black...until I had a polished lip on my wheels - its all about matching...just dont overdue it. Chrome pillars would ruin the look unless I had chrome wheels

I would not paint the mirrors. Color matched mirrors look classy.

but, if you're going with a black theme, it makes things look more uniform.

definitely do the mirrors. i have a dg coupe and i will be doing this in the future. my shop said 50 bucks to paint both if i take them off myself.

i'm also considering a black roof on my dg. but nothing is written in stone for me yet.
