But what if, for example, I just wanted to paint the mirror cover, not the whole housing? Would I have to take the whole thing apart, or should I just mask tape it, and then paint it?

I know this might sound not smart, but do I go a dealer to order the painted front housing, or can I get it online somewhere?
