Anyone know where I can order tow mirror caps that are paint matched to replace my chrome ones that should have been black on my BAP? Thanks

they only come in black plastic or chrome from the factory. you'll have to buy the black plastic ones and get them painted at a local body shop near you.

As the other guy mentioned. Parts don’t usually come paint matched. You can however get the paintable ones and try your hand with a color match rattle can. I did a test run on my chrome ones. It wasn’t terrible but I rushed. If you take your time they can come out great.

I purchased mine on eBay. The color match is excellent and the look, fit, and quality matched the OEM caps I removed. They did a great job, but they are not inexpensive.

There is a good YouTube video showing how to take the cap off, which I followed. This method breaks the back tab of the original cap, but I wasn't planning to use the old caps anyway. It took about 10 minutes and about the same amount of time it took me to get up enough courage to remove the old ones.

My truck came with chrome caps, and I replaced them with black ones. The black ones were a bit textured, though. I think that one might have better luck with trying to paint the chrome caps, since at least they’re smooth.

Do you remember which set you got? The Link to BFN has multiple listings.

I think I clicked on one of the caps and then clicked to ask the seller a question. I provided specific information about my truck (probably not needed since I think all the tow mirrors are the same) including the color. The support person then added a new item and provided a link to the item on eBay for me to purchase.

I got mine off Ebay, they make them color match, for example I got mine Oxford white for my XLT.
