Yellow Mirrors...A Motorhome Story
Posted: Mon Aug 26, 2013 12:34 pm
When we bought our almost new '06 class C back in Feb of 07, the unpainted plastic rear view mirrors never did completely match the white paint of the cab. But at least they were still white.
Years of weather and sun exposure have turned the plastic mirror housings an awful yellow with hints of grey. This is quite common. I see it all the time, and it bugs me.
So, out of complete boredom, I fixed them today.
A touch of OCD, a little bit of painters tape, some fine grit sandpaper, and a few coats of Krylon Fusion plastic paint yielded some pretty good results. One allen head bolt is all it takes to remove them.
I did not get any pics of the pack of angry wasps that came boiling out of the drivers mirror as I took it off.
I hate those things.

Well, that's all the fun I get to have today. Back to yard work.
