Painted Door Handles installed
 

I had a new set of OEM door handles color matched the same color as my Z. I hate how they are silver from the factory. Just figured id post some pics incase anyone else is considering this. I think it looks far better.

Looks good

hay man, nice to see you on here. you gonna paint it orange or what ? lol

Blends in much better :tup:

I'm toying with the idea of doing the same thing. Looks great!

It looks good,but over time from grabbing the handles the paint starts to wear quickly that is the only reason why I haven't done mine.

I have seen them first hand they look funny worn.

So would powder coating the be better on the handles

Can't power coat the handles are plastic:shakes head:

Extreme heat used in powder coating?

You would have to ask Mike but I'm pretty positive you will have more than plastic can handle.

powdercoating doesnt work on plastic because essentially you charge the powder which then sticks to the metal, which is normally grounded so it would attract the charged powder.

Kandy OrangeZ looks nice in red..i have been looking around for them in red to see what it would look like now that i have seen it I may have to do them to,

Maybe the handle wasnt prepped properly. Just about every single car has painted door handles. They dont have a problem


Nope, this ones staying red :)

I'm guessing you went to an automotive paint shop to do it... How long were they off the car? Did they paint the non exposed areas as well or will there be silver showing if you open the handle?

Looks good man! Color matched handles are the way to go
