Default Painted door handles

Thinking about having my door handles painted to match my car. I saw another Nismo on here that had it done and it looked good to me.

Just wondering if anyone else has done this and how much it cost.

Thanks for the input

I know they're not painted nor color matched but I plastidipped mine with anthracite & gloss finish for under $15. Just FYI.

A simple search:

Door handle painting mod results

DIY-Door handle removal

I removed mine and had a local painter spray them for $40 for the pair

I am looking to offer a group buy on painted door handles, look at my build thread for how we do it. cost would be right around the $200 range and would need to do colors in at least groups of 4 or more.

I am in the process of buying a core set and will be able to paint, send, wait for return core. obviously there will be a cost/credit involved to do it that way. (cost to purchase new core if not returned in reasonable time frame)

If the interest is there, I will do it.

we completely disassemble and rebuild door handles.

fwiw i was quoted 165 from a local body shop, but they will not take the handles apart and rebuild (properly)

anyhow, way worth it, looks awesome on the car

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
