Sorry, as far as I am aware unlike the 850 etc, the door mirror on a 900 Series is of a totally different design that started with 700's. The only change 700 v 900 being when the method of attaching the mirror glass to the tilt motor changed and when the outer door trim was terminated inside the mirror face plate rather than running underneath the face plate.

You cannot disassemble the shell from the frame without drilling out and destroying the 6 points behind the mirror on the potmetal frame that hold the shell to the frame.

Should you do that I believe that you may then encounter a problem getting the shell clear of the large return spring which I think must be fitted last in manufacture.

I reckon you will either have to mask the mirror up or take it off the door to paint it.

The attached photo if of a mirror from a later 940 showing the way in which the shell is attached.
