Polo 9N3 gloss black details

So this here neat looking VW Polo 9N3 is Mark's. Its the 96kw TDi model and has seen numerous aesthetic mods done to enhance the look of the car.
The bits he wanted me to paint was the side mirrors and the B-pillars. The B-pillars is matt black and actually splits the nice shiny effect that the tinted windows create . The colour he was after was gloss black. Nice


So I got stuck right in to get the desired look and sanded them down, and applied MS primer. Sanded down again and applied the black, called Finishing black which is like a mirror finish.




After struggling a bit to get the look perfect, and after repainting the bits quite a couple times, the final effect looked perfect and this is how the bits came out in the end!

And this is how it looks on the car! The B-pillars create the effect of a large side window, and the black mirrors on the white Polo looks real neat!
