Color matched door handles?

Ultrakla$$ic · 02-19-2020, 04:10 PM

Anybody have them? If so, could you post a pic? I'm debating painting mine.

Thanks guys! Any problems with abnormal wear/peeling/flaking on the painted door handles? The OEM handle finish is very slick so just wondering that even with professional painting if the color matched paint adheres well or not and did you guys take the handle portion apart and have the parts painted separate?

I had mine painted 2 years ago. Aside from 1 tiny chip behind the handle they are fine. No noticable wear at all.

They where painted assembled other than the lock button. That was removed and painted separately.

After three years I have one tiny chip on the button that unlocks the door. Otherwise it has held up very well.

A cheaper if more annoying alternative is to plasti-dip them. That stuff holds up well and once it starts to peel just re-spray.

I did this constantly on my 350Z on the interior arm rest bc everything around that general area scratched so easily in that car!
