Painting Mirror Caps

I just picked up my Sunset Orange M240i two weeks ago and really hate the grey caps. That said, not sure the CF ones would look great with this color so I am going to either have mine painted to match the body color or buy either a new set up body color caps or maybe black ones (as I am also going to be picking up black out grills).

Has anyone had theirs painted? If so, what does that run typically? I can always pick up the iND ones but they are close to $300 in body color...$35 less in black.

I'm right there with you. I keep looking and I can't decide black or carbon fiber. I will have the black grill and trim, thinking black caps would flow better. Some of the carbon ones in pictures look black some look gray. Going to add a M performance spoiler and that's the same problem. I found some photos .[IMG]undefined[/IMG][IMG]undefined[/IMG]
the matching cap he said he had the dealer paint it.
