Has anyone hydrodipped their mirrors/other exterior parts?

Trying to decide what to do with some stuff on my truck, I have heard that some mirror housings are difficult to paint due to the 'wrinkle' finish on them.

Sand and fill them before paint?

Always an option. Just seeing if anyone has dipped them before. I have a dip place real close to my house and they're very reasonably priced.

Just do it and be a trend setter! Lol If it doesn't work out a little was down the road at least you didn't pay out the ass.

I talked to a guy last weekend . He does hydrodip and dipped his 06 F250's mirror caps and door handles in carbon fiber . It looked amazing after years of use . He was 1/3 the cost of painting .

Thanks for the input, this sounds very promising. I'm planning on doing my badges, the hood cowl, and my mirrors.
