I appreciate this may give purists a heart attack but have you considered having the mirrors vinyl wrapped in the S8 Satin Silver? Apparently, works out about £70 per mirror professionally supplied and fitted, I’ve seen a few done and they look great.

Alternatively, there are mirror caps on eBay. See photos.

Hope this helps.

I would vote for re-anodizing. That’s the treatment that gives just the right, a but matte and dull finish. Chrome-finish is for plastic mirror covers and silver paint just doesn’t do it.

Btw. How have you treated your faded of milky aluminium trim. Any tips?
