In case anyone wondered, I did get those mirrors torn down, painted and then put back together. I have to say the process is not as easy as it sounds, you have to be very careful or else you can break tabs all over the place, luckily I had some spare parts to work with so I was still able to salvage the mess I made.
If anyone else attempts this there may be a need to remove the swivel-post in the mount block, if you need to do this then you will need a dremel, some good epoxy and a lot of patience. That was by far the hardest part of the whole ordeal.
There is also a problem with the wiring how-to, in my case the wire colors were not the same as listed in the how-to. I had to take all the wiring apart and start over again using the trial and error method. Also, i didn't find it anywhere else, and I'll admit that I should have figured this out on my own a lot quicker than I did, but nobody tells you anywhere else that you need to hook up a ground wire for the signal. I mean duh, yeah you will need a ground wire, I felt really stupid when i realized that was my problem, but nothing mentioned it, so I didn't realize at first that I needed it. I had to break out the handy dandy FSM and track down the wiring diagram to figure out where to ground it to, but it all works now.
Now that I have most of my mods done, I will be making my sig thread soon. Just need to get some time to take some pics.
If anyone does this mod and needs any advice, just send me a PM and I'll be glad to help you out.
