My mirror shells are peeling the clearcoat and the body shop is painting them but I need to bring the shells, not the whole car or the whole assembly. Do you know the process to take just the shell?

TIA!

I would just buy carbon mirror covers for about $120 that go right on top of them.

 Just unclip the mirror and disconnect the heating wires.  You will see 3 Torx screws which hold the shell on to the mirror mounting frame.  Undo them, and swivel the unit towards the door.  Then you can unclip the bottom plastic cover, and slide the shell over the mirror mounting frame.  It's all very easy and fairly obvious once you have taken the mirror off. 

Edit:  Just found this:
