After some local kids tried to destroy my car I now have one less wing mirror. I\'ve sourced a spare but it\'s the wrong colour, as my car is the beautiful factory white.
Now I\'m not to bad with a spanner on brakes, suspension, piston engines (not tried a rotary rebuild yet). However I am diabolically bad at bodywork and have no experince so I was going to try sanding it down and repainting myself. Does anyone know where I can get the approprite colour spray paint from (other than Mazda direct)?
If I do a job thats less than perfect I\'ll take it back to a bodyshop and get it done properly but I\'d like to fill out my car skills a bit more and have a go.
I had a few blasts at trying to repray a headlight cover black, (was red) It took a few tries. The only way to get a decent finish was to spray the item in front of a fan heater and leave it to dry in the fan heaters blow for a few hours. Ended up with a great result.

They provided me with a rattle can of Silverstone, and it was by far the closest match that I could get :) Metallic silver is a nightmare to match properly, trust me!
