Diy paint door handles
 

Saw the removal of the door handles. whats a solution or a link to an easy way to spray the door handles with krylon, duplicolor etc. looking for a project for tomorrow on my day off. do i need primer, sand them down etc, let me know. I have the DIY for the removal but not for the painting of them black

I've used dupli color universal black? Which is matte. The shade was what I was looking for. I primed the handles and inserted a pin to hold them open while the inside was painted.

do you have to primer the handles first or can you use krylon fusion paint and then krylon fusion clear coat? how many coats of each do you have to use

I put two coats of the krylon fusion matte paint, and have not had any issues afters months of use. the dup color matte is a thinner base paint, and will flake if you don't put enough coats and seal it with a non gloss clear. if a matte finish is what you're after? if a bit more shine is what you're after the krylon fussion matte black would work since it has a little shine to it.

I'm not sure if it really mattered, but I sanded my door handles with 320 grit sandpaper, if I remember right. It very lightly roughed the surface up. Then I sprayed a coat of primer on and let it dry, and then 3-4 coats of the paint. Turned out great!

dang...320... next time use the cement why dont cha? :D hahaha.

i use 400 to strip old paints but more like 800+ for surface prep.

Haha, you're right. I just went and looked for the sandpaper I used and that's what I used too. Thanks for correcting me!

Yo Dallas ... if you are going to be doing this to your handles you need to stop by my place and do the same to mine!! LOL

I tried doing this, it did not turn out so well lol Now I need new handles hahaha. FML :facepalm: :rofl2:
