Custom painted reflectors and side marker lights

Golfboy · 03-31-2023, 03:22 PM

Is there anywhere to access custom painted (body color) reflectors for the front fenders and side marker light covers for the rear fenders from any known vendors? Or is it something that you would have to paint yourself on the existing parts on your car. Has anyone done this?

AFAIK, nobody sells prepainted ones so you'll need to paint them, many people have done it.

Very nice! Is that car color Monaco blue?

Most will have body shop do it when getting bumper resprayed. But it’s not a hard DIY. Disconnect wire, take out reflector. Sand it down to smooth out any raised lettering. Coat of primer and then 2 coats of factory matched paint. I bought a can of titanium silver years ago online and it was 99% match.

On my black sapphire M I used black vinyl wrap almost 4 years ago and its still perfect. The diameter of the front reflectors is exactly the same size as the base of a WD 40 can which made a perfect template.
