A lot of paint is chipping/missing from my mirrors. Instead of paying a shop to repaint I'm thinking about stickerbombing it. It'll look kind of like this:

You could easily repaint them yourself. They're not hard to paint.
Sticker bombing is fine, but personally not my style.

I'm up for sticker bombing insides of the car or very specific outside parts (like a fairing). I say just repaint it.

You can always use a gloss black, or some other neutral (black is the norm). Even most of the paint colors at an auto store will match well enough. If you do sticker bomb, hit it with some clear coat to prevent the stickers from wearing off. Otherwise it'll look crap, and you'll wished you just painted it properly.

IMO....Stickerbombing is something all the stanced kids are doing. AKA something stupid I would do. It's a stanced/hellaflush trend. One that only works on those types of cars.
OEM or black on a stock car for me.

Repaint with regular paint.
You can get cans made at NAPA, or you can get the paint mixed for you somewhere and use a 'PREVAL' sprayer:

They sell them at places like autozon, napa, advanced etc.
Just scuff your current one, respray it, then clear it.

I love stickers and sticker bombing but I'm saying no to this on your car still, I say find a good DIY way of painting them.

Best way to paint them would be to scuff them down with '3m RED scuff pads', then if they have any scrapes or anything fill them with the appropriate filler, then scuff again and paint them using the PREVAL sprayer i mentioned, or just get NAPA to make you a paint matched can. The stuff they put in the cans is 1 stage, meaning you DO NOT have to clear over it. The PREVAL method would be 2 stage, like base, then clearcoat.
Shouldnt be too much work on something as small as that.

Good, because doing stickers to a car like that is just dumb! Keep it clean. If anything, buy new mirrors that have good paint.
