Jeff,

I just painted a set of electric mirror housings with SEM "Trim
Paint" #39143. Its a satin finish and is holding up well although
I've only had it on there a month. Be sure to let the part dry for 48
hours as the can recommends before handling. The great thing about it
is I can touch up the mirrors whenever the mood strikes me. It seems
pretty durable but if you want more flexible paint they also sell a
lot of other paints for bumpers, etc: http://

Most auto body supply houses will carry SEM stuff. SEM has a rattle
can for everything.

Cheers,
Jeff
