I think even wiser to remove them and have autobody shop professionally paint them and do it only one time. IMO

I work as a body man in a body shop and I had my painters paint allot of stuff on my car but they refused to paint my handles b/c they said there will be a adhesion problem down the road so I just let it ly.

Since I've done mine and they came out good. I kinda worry about the avg joe doing it and just kicking himself cause it came out looking like crap or having to retouch them in the future. The Pro's do know what their doing most of the time.

I know I really wanted them pearl white but since they did 2 toned both bumpers,both rocker covers and some small stuff for free I didn't want to piss them off that's why I let it go.

I am a painter and I shot my handles using PPG envirobase and it is holding up great. Just wet sand with 600 and get the back side of the handle scuffed really well with a red scotch brite. I shot a couple sets of 350z handles back in 05 and they still look great. As long as they are scuffed good and you use adhesion promoter followed by a high quality sealer they will hold up fine.

I know thats what I told them(minus the wet sand) and they still didn't want to.

They may have been just getting lazy.

paid $90 for mine, very happy with the results, no fading or chipping so far, color match couldn't have been more spot on.

Thanks for sharing. I had a feeling that it would come out that way. I am going to go for a red/gunmetal theme. Thanks again.
