Side view mirror color
« on: August 10, 2011, 08:25:18 pm »
Anybody know what shade/color of paint was originally used on Fiero side view mirrors?

Black, dark charcoal, gloss, semi-gloss, flat?

Roger, I've seen 2 very low mileage original Fieros and my impression is that they're closer to gloss black than anything.  Same with the engine vent grills and the drip rails.  The mirrors didn't look like they were clear coated, though, but sprayed with a one part paint or maybe even powder coated.

Forgot to add that all Fiero mirrors were black.

Except for Indy Fieros.

I didn't know that.  I'd never noticed it.
