Mine are in desprite need of being freshned up... Pulled one off today and wet sanded all the old paint and crap on it off. Now I'm stuck with an issue! What fricken color to do them! Do I go 03 cobra style and body match them or go for a factory look with a satin/flat black? How about a gloss black to keep a factory look but with some "shine" to it

I pondered the same thing when my car went for paint. I ended up painting the mirrors body color, but leaving the rest of the trim around the doors and windows black. I don't regret it, and think it came out really well:
