Same here. The power mirrors I picked up on ebay to replace my "wind
flippy" manual ones were badly scuffed maroon (is that what Titian Red
was?), and a can of Krylon semi-gloss black did them up nice. Worked
so well I did the wiper arms, lower grill, and bumpers (mine are the
black painted steel ones, with the plastic end caps that my wife likes
to break by hitting stuff). Scuff/clean gently with one of those green
scrubby things by 3M, wipe down with denatured alcohol, spray three
light coats to cover. I have to try it on the door handles. Don't know
why that didn't occur to me...
