Default Cracked Paint On Side View Mirror

I can only see 2 solutions to this.
1. Look for another at the junk yard.
2. Take it to a body shop.

Which one should I go with or is there a better solution to get rid of this horrible cracking?

Have it vinyl-wrapped. Cheap and easy.

If you need some vinyl to cover it up, let me know.

If you're gonna put vinyl over that, you'll have to smooth those cracks out first.......then you're into sanding and priming, then painting, then.....it just goes on and on.

Is that the only part with failing paint? Just the one mirror?

Thanks for the ideas! I'll look into the CF and the vinyl !

If I use PlastiDip it will last about 4 hours until it drives me crazy xD.

Yes, it is the only part that has cracked paint. I looked over the whole car twice to be sure .
