When i bought the car the passenger mirror was cracked in half like someone backed into a garage and hit the mirror. So it also swivels and won't hold still. So i made an offer on one used mirror shell i saw on eBay. It was green. I believe he wanted $70 but had the "make an offer" button on it so i offered $30, the we settled on like $40 with shipping. So i removed mine from the outside of the car being careful not to scratch the paint with tape on the car and a right angle phillips.
Replacement used Green Shell
Sand, 2 prime coats, 3 base black onyx, 3 coats clear
Needs some Wet Sanding and Buffing / Polishing
1000, then 2000 grit wet sand then - Ultimate Compound Meguiars with the Griot Orbital works wonders
Much better! good reflection
Glossy now

Get your old rusty dirty tips looking new again!
After i hit them with Bronze Wool and Billet Polish removed most of the discoloration and polluted grime.
Then pull out the Good Stuff. "Wenol" is a secret sauce used by the Old Schoolers. Used it on my classic and it can pull these things back to life. Check it out
