--- Get your door handles painted --- !!!

Six weeks of dust on the body and freshly painted handles so it doesn't look as good as it will.

Awesome, thanks for the feedback!!

Got my handles on too. Love them! I'll try to get a shot further back when my car is out of the garage.

Glad you love them!

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

KaienZ34 · 07-09-2014, 09:04 PM

Any white handles done yet?

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.

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.

Soon as I get them back I will take some pictures for everyone to see installed.

Also for a little experiment I'm having him paint front and rear nissan emblem PW to see what it would look looks like color matched in PW since I can't find anyone to shave f/r emblems.

Lol, me too! I am doing matched Magma Red emblems because I don't want to go through the hassle of shaving them.

yeah from what I've read and looked into is even if u have it shaved properly in can start to crack and stuff after a few years since its on plastic and it's not real cheap to do.
most places won't do it around here.

I guess will see how this looks but I think it'll be pretty clean tho

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!
