And I did get the handles done.

FYI - the touch up paint is crap, since there are layers to the pearl white, you can't get that in a can of touch up paint. I've filled a few tiny chips, its just terrible using that stuff.

thanks for the info, did you get your handles in white or black? do you mind me asking how much they charged you for both the handles and side markers?

Everything was color matched Pearl White.

I'm not a fan of highlighting the handles to make them stand out.

$250 included matching all six pieces (handles, side markers, front/back emblems)

After getting these all put on, I sat in the car and started looking around at all the silver accented trim , but I don't think even I have the patience for that kind of project, at least not at the moment, because you can't be selective, if you paint on piece, you gotta paint them all.
did you rattle can these ?

if so whatd you buy ?

oops

just read the last posts
