Painted mirror covers are the cheapest way to fix one of the most visible spots on your car: we ship brand-new OEM and OE-replacement side mirror covers already sprayed in your exact factory color, matched from your VIN. Curb rash, clear-coat peel, or a snapped cover from a tight garage, the fix clips on in minutes and costs a fraction of what most body panels do.
From the 338 painted mirror covers in our catalog as of July 2026: the typical cover runs about $180 painted, with the middle half of prices between $145 and $235. Each price includes the new cover, the color mixed to your factory code, and the lifetime paint warranty. No shop minimum charge, which on a part this small often costs more than the part itself.
Mirrors live at the widest point of the vehicle, so they collect the scrapes, and their covers are thin plastic that sun and car washes age faster than steel panels. Peeling clear coat on a mirror cap is a familiar sight on cars only a few years old. Because the cover is a separate clip-on piece on most models, you replace the skin, not the mirror assembly, and the motor, glass, signal, and heater underneath stay untouched.
A $145 mirror cover gets the identical treatment as an $1,800 bumper: your factory paint code, confirmed with the vehicle manufacturer against your VIN, sprayed in PPG Envirobase waterborne paint and inspected before it ships. The step-by-step lives on our paint process page, and our guide to finding your paint code by VIN shows where your code hides.
Fitment matters here more than most parts. Some mirrors take a simple snap-on cap, others need the cover swapped with the housing, and covers change with trim options like signal repeaters or camera ports. Our VIN check catches the right variant before anything is painted. Browse the catalog on our mirror covers by make guide or go straight to painted side mirror covers.
Typically about $180 from our catalog, with most between $145 and $235 painted and shipped. The vehicle make moves the price more than anything else.
You can, but rattle-can results on a curved plastic cover rarely match factory paint, and a shop respray of a $180 part usually runs into the shop’s minimum charge. A new cover in the factory color is the cleaner outcome for similar or less money.
Listings are per side unless stated otherwise, since drivers usually damage one mirror, not both. Check the listing, and if you want both sides painted in the same batch, tell us in a part inquiry so they ship together.
Start with your make and model and the painted price is on the product page. Fixing more than the mirror? Fenders and bumpers get the same factory match: see painted fenders and painted bumpers.
