In my experience if you want to paint Vitaloni mirrors, look for a pair of the colored ones as the finish is somewhat better for repainting and ends up a lot less work than starting with the black which have a bit of a wrinkle finish.

I have white Vitaloni Californian mirrors on the GT5 and a pair of colored (lime green!) Baby Turbo's to be repainted orange for the GT40.
