Wing mirror refurb.

My wing mirrors were getting a little worse for wear, paint bubbling off and making the car look scruffy. The paint seemed to have never been applied properly from new & only took a little sanding to take it completely back to bare metal.

The mounting arms were fine - just the mirror units themselves with the problem.

Resprayed 3-4 coats of satin black 'direct to rust' hammerite, we'll see if that wears any better:

Update - It lasted until summer 2017 so much better than the original paint, and even then only breaking down in small areas from stone chips. +1 for Hammerite direct to rust spray.
