painted inner fairing and mirrors

Good day everyone. Well, I finally removed my inner fairing on my '10 Street Glide and I am dropping it off at the paint shop tomorrow but have one question: shuold I paint the mirrors? I would like to, but the way they are made with the non-removable swivel base everytime I adjust the mirror there will be some black exposed. What has everyone else done? Thanks in advance

My painter suggested painting the mirrors as well. I thought about it but for the reason you mention about the ball being exposed, I opted for the Harley chrome covers. It was just as well, after he got done painting the fairing he wouldn't have had enough paint to do the mirrors anyway.

I was thinking about getting the inner fairing painted as well. Havn't priced it yet, just wondering what the price range on that is. Thanks.

I'd have the inner & mirrors painted to match - better flow. I plan to paint mine over our winter bike hibernation here in NE. Lotta work, but sure looks good then done...
