Hi guys.. well thanks for all the responses... i never thought it would escalate into a heated debate.. but still lol..
I have two sets of mirrors... 1 set were on the bike.. white/pearl (one with a broken mount arm.. that was fudged when brought).. and another set (good old ebay) again white boots (luckily) but red mirrors...

I have since sprayed the red mirrors white/pearl.. and cleaned up the boots... (made a little F&*k up.. with the clear coat.. but beginners errors i guess...)

I was going to cut open the mirror mount but thought i'd F**k it up even more that way... lol.. thanks for your assistance tho.. i hope it dont become a habbit be begging for help :-)

Still no pics as yet.. need a new rear tyre (damn screws lol) and respay the rear swing arm.. i dont have the ***** to tackle the lower fairing i dont think (well not yet anyhow..)
Will post pics when i've managed to sort the bits ;-)

But thanks again ok...

 

no debate I just thought it seemed like a lot of work to cut and dissasemble mirrors, just to paint them.

 

No debate!! there goes My fun

 

I taped my glass and painted it, worked very well
