Opinions on Door Handle Painting
 

So, I went the Plastidip route with my door handles. I did them back in December. Up until the last month or so, it looked pretty good. Since then I've had some peeling and general wear showing.

So, rather than go back to more Plastidip, I've decided to go with paint. I had this idea to do something a little different. I was thinking of painting most of the handle in the body color but painting the pull in a matte black. Or, maybe painting most of the handle matte black and leaving the pull the stock silver (like below).

What do you guys think?

Personally just color matching it would look great. imo

I think it looks good in the picture. Hard to tell tho if it fits with the rest of the car.

Nice to see something new :)

This is my plan for my GM Z :tup:

I'm a fan of having the contrast of black, which is why I plasti-dipped mine black. Color matching doesn't look right to me because you can tell the handle is so different compared to a normal handle; its not trying to blend in like a regular handle. For that reason I feel the design calls for it to be a different color.

Yea, Early on I went the painted handle route, But for me it just drew to much attention to that part of the car.

That's one of the reasons I started moving away from the idea of going with the body color. Something about it doesn't look quite right about it. I also considered just having them painted matte black and calling it a day. Same look as Plastidip but more permanent.

So you went back to you stock look?

Yes, Since mine is brilliant silver the stock handles blended in a little better

Ah, gotcha... I probably wouldn't do it on a silver Z either.

Tough call... :confused:
