It seems that for lighter colored cars? it draws more attention than it would a darker colored car.

Yea you right. How the handles turn out?

Long story short? Good after doing them three times, but I was thinking of down the road if they don't last? to buying some extras, and having your shop paint them.

sorry!

I sanded them down, and cleaned them with alcohol painted, and primered and painted them with the wrong paint? since i wanted the same shade. The problem with current dupli color paint I used was its for plastic and worked great not so great for the handles different material. I ended up just using some krylon metal plastic wood paint in flat black. I gave it 2 good coats and sealed it with a flat acrylic sealer. so will see how it last.
