Painted door handles

Why would the handles need to be rebuilt?

see my build thread. the handle part of the door handle kit if you will, is riveted together. it does not unscrew. so if you want to paint properly behind the handle, you have to take it apart, and re assemble it. we tapped where the rivet was and insert new screw with locktite, so its as strong as it would be from the factory

I did mine black with plasti-dip. Was very easy.. tho obviously not as good as getting them painted..but for a temp thing its perfect

Yeah. Mine wasn't taken apart when painted so you can see the silver underneath when you open the door handle. Besides that, it looks good. I had mine painted just a normal gloss black.

Is that paint code KAD that you used for your door handles? Where did you buy it from? I'm looking to do the same to my door handles.

Yes, I painted the door handles Gun Metallic (code KAD) to match the rest of the car. My rims are painted the 40th anniversary color of KAV. It has a slightly purple hue that really compliments the Gun Metallic and is just a little different from what others have.

Thank you

Thank you

You won't be disappointed.

finally got the door handles off and painted, it only cost me $120 to get them done.

I love them and had a couple people already comment on them.

Thanks everyone for your help
