Folks,
why don't you just buy a can of the metallised spray paint over at a 
Home Depot and use my "frankenmirror" post to get yourselves a pair of 
dirt cheap full size metallised mirrors? If I cared for the Cr look I 
would've done it in a hearbeat. Since I don't like anything shiny I had 
painted my full size RH side frankenmirror in OEM Peal White.
