    Hi,

    I had to change my passenger side wing mirror for a 99 Ford Focus. I got a spare Wing for €20 from a scrap yard. But it had a Silver back. I want to spray it black so it will match the Drivers side but im not sure which paint to use. Any Ideas?

    Thanks.

    I think Black gloss was what the non colour coded ones were on the Mk1 Focus

    Nope. The non colour coded ones were a one piece black plastic design. The colour coded ones have a painted insert.

    Ya its a one piece Mirror anyway, I thought id be able clip off the Colour coded part but its all one unit. What spray should i aim for? Its a green Focus, any idea what the name/Code the green is on a 99 Focus.

    Get them to mix up the paint for you in halfords. I'm not sure if they do more than just touch up pens when matching paint though so ask for yourself.
