Painted my mirrors in GT3RS spec

[Ciprianbadic]

Hello dear Taycan owners!

I saw at my local dealership the new 992 GT3RS and the mirror captured my attention in the way it was made. The upper part is carbon and the lower part is in the body colour and I decided it would be a great idea to do the same! But because carbon mirrors are so worthlessly expensive, I painted mine in Audi Schwarz, non metallic colour and the lower part in the original Porsche Weiss, everything being coated with 2 layers of clearcoat. Let me know if this little mod is pleasing to the eye or not and I encourage you to make yout Taycan even more “yours”, by adding these little stuff.

One last surprise is the key fob, we all know it is in this cheap plastic and I hated it, so I developed a colour in my laboratory to complement the Bordeaux Red interior. Because the part is so small, I did only one layer of clearcoat (yes,clearcoated, not just the paint).

you might know that I document everything I do with this car, so here is thr video with the dissasembling process (yes, I worked on it myself) and the final look of it!

I already commented on your YT video but as the owner of a white Taycan with a bordeaux interior, I must also add that I am a bit jealous ?

Would it not be easier to just use a wrap to do it? You could do the door handles at the same time?

As for the paint formulation in your laboratory, for those of us without a laboratory, would nail varnish work?

Wraps and PPFs are the biggest lie in automotive industry. Automotive Paint will forever be the best choice if you want quality work, not just looks. Every paintshop has laboratory, colaborate with them to achieve the color that you want. Door handles are easy to get out, just need a set of trusty hands ? dont believe everything you see on the internet

I did say easier, not better. I guess i'd add cheaper too (without a laboratory), and reversible down the line.

Wow it looks very good! You just made your car totally unique now Congrats. I wouldn't have the guts to do it myself though.

Thank you, Sir! You don’t have to! Find a professional! I own a workshop and I have the documentation and experience to do such task.. it isn’t that easy, but doable
