Glad you love them!

Hard to tell, but being the first Magma Red I've done, did the color and metallics come out well?

Core exchange lol...

Dudes, get some duct tape or blue tape and tape off your handles. poke the cable thru the tape. door handles are sure easy to remove, will need a torques bit for the drivers side door, no you dont have to remove the door pannels.

RBfastback's order is second in line and will be the first Pearl White...should be able to start on it hopefully early next week. Since it is a tricoat, I will have to do a spray out and find a PW to compare to find out how many coats of pearls Nissan is using.

I've been driving around with no door handles for 2-3 weeks now but I just tape over the lock cylinder. lol

Guys, my turnaround is very fast if you ship me your handles. If you ship them out to me Monday via USPS Priority I'll likely be able to start on them Wednesday/Thursday and they'll be on the way back to you Friday/Monday.

Just put my order in. Now I have to take ship my handles out this afternoon.

Bossless1 · 07-10-2014, 10:29 AM

Very interested...but like others, I would like to see the PW pics first! Also, did you ever consider the PW group buy idea?

I jumped in without seeing pictures of the Magma Red. Just buy the handles. His paint match is pretty spot on. Look at any other car with paint matched handles and you will know if you like the look.

I don't have enough cores available to get a group buy done and going without handles haven't been a very popular choice.

Just do it... If you give him your VIN he can look up the actual paint mix that was used on your car and the match is spot on. I was worried about my black cherry handles matching and they came out perfect.

FWIW, if you really don't want to be without handles, they are about $50 each. I was too busy to deal with getting mine off and shipping them out so I just ordered handles from a place in Texas and had them shipped directly to Equalme. I figure I'll just sell my original handles at some point so the $ damage is not horrible.

equalme · 07-11-2014, 04:15 PM

I have three sets of cores that I'm using now so wait times should be much better. There are still 2 spots open which I will be able to start on around 1.5 weeks from now. Let me know if you want to get your order in to reserve a spot!

I might do this over the winter, not sure what color to do thought... On the '14 NISMO I could do them black to match the doors, or grey to match the skirts/spoiler/rims... Either would probably look a lot better than the light silver handles on the black/grey car.

I'm stopping this service mid/late next month. High chance I won't start it back up in the near future.

Davey · 07-11-2014, 05:07 PM

Well maybe you can sell me one of your cores, then.
