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.

should look really good when you're done! Are you planning on powder coating your wheels gunmetal or buying new ones?
