Blacked out accessory pieces - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Anybody black out items like the side mirrors, door handles, wiper arms, etc? Can they be powder coated? These are originally chrome pieces.

Thinking about this for my white blazer. It would be similar to how some Heeps are set up. I'm thinking about a black top, tinted out windows, black bumpers and grill surround...and possibly blacked out handles, wiper arms, mirrors, etc.

I I`ve seen it,it was on a black truck.All that stuf can be powdercoated with proper prep.I had a pair of those polished stainless Ventshades powdercoated glossy black and it held or the 18 years I had the vehicle.

I got a pair of OEM looking mirrors from my local wrecking yard that were stainless and I painted them satin black. How I did it was to scuff them up real good with sandpaper to make sure the paint would stick. So far they seem to be holding up OK.
