This might do the job, you can specify the diameter too.

Plasti-Dip Door Handles
 
Finally had a nice day here so I could snap some quick pics of my door handles I did in plasti dip. I'm so glad to see the silver handles gone. Really adds a overall nicer contrast to my car.

looks really nice!!:tup: I'm thinking about doing the same. did you just mask around it and spray directly on the handles or did you take them off?

I went to take them off but the two phillips head screws that hold in the keyless entry button got stripped. There must of been lock tight or something. They wouldnt turn even a quarter of a turn then after some much trying they stripped. I hate phillips head screws.

But since I had them out I taped around the handles and left them loose and went to town that way.

Thanks. Not sure how long. I put 4 coats on it. I'm not worried about though. I can always redo them. That's the beauty about plasti dip. Now I can't wait to do the rear of the car.

Your door handles look good soon I won't be able to see your car.:icon17:

Looks good, Chris! Have you thought about blacking out the mirrors as well?

They will peel!! I finally peeled one side off which was a pain in the butt!! My bodyshop guy got on my case for using plasti-dip. It's so easy to apply. Your door handles look good. You just have to be careful with them.

I can easily see how that's going to happen. But I'll see in due time what I come up with.
