Did a good job but for some reason I just like my stock handles on my chicane.

Now if I were able to get them flush I would cream.

would it be extremely stupid to try and paint the handles while theyre still on the car (taping off everything around them)!?

I would love to get my handles done in a matte black. how much did this cost you? did you just take it to a body shop?

Any way of getting the handles "black chromed", or would that be out of the question? Are there electronics within the door handle that would prevent it from being dipped / chromed, and if so I would assume the only other alternative is getting them painted .. correct?

The silver handles on my silver Z look mahvelous and compliment the silver sport wheels. But I like the yellow handles on a yellow Z with black wheels, nice job.

The matte black handles are amazing. I would love to do that. Would look nice on a white car. Matter in fact all the cars.
