Thanks! The decision became a lot easier when I realised I'd never use them in the state they were inOriginally Posted by Greasemonkey2000
Great work, Mike! They look fantastic!Appreciate the boldness to rip apart not so cheap mirrors in the name of restoring. Was the clear just aerosol or you use a paint gun? I presume you wet sanded with different grits?
These are easily my favorite aftermarket mirrors for the NA/NB and have held off getting a set for the sake of doing things different(had a set on Warbird, my previous na8) this time around but every time I see a set I get that much closer to getting them.. The old/new combo has always intrigued me. Retro design element in the shape of the piece, but built with a modern material in carbon fibre.
I considered spraying them myself, but eventually took them to a local carbon fibre magician who, um, weaved his magic, so not sure exactly what he ended up doing. He asked that I bring them back in a few weeks for a final polish.
The replacement bits (and some other treasures) from Zoom Eng should be here in a day or so, so I'll probably get into re assembly this weekend.
