I recommend spraying them yourself, cost vs benefit, its not worth it to have em painted, unless youre getting a bodykit or something which would give reason for the shop to make your color already.

to have it done properly, so it lasts and looks good (at least color matched) i'd look into having a shop do it.
no idea on cost though.

if you have them prepped already, I would venture a guess in the $50 range, if they are not on the car. $100 for prepped on the car; probably upwards of $300 for not prepped and on the car.

just rattle can it, it's no big deal. you tape off everything and cover everywhere with newspaper. lightly sand everything, primer it, paint it.

if you got the 2 piece mirrors, definitely do them yourself. all the extra time spent disassembling them to paint them properly would go right towards labor costs, which is why it could be upwards of $300 to do.

Mines one piece. Why would that be cheaper? I want the whole thing painted, that looks awful.
