Painting door handles?
Has anyone self-painted there door handles. I believe they are made of plastic but I planned on doing the same prodedure that is used in painting the rims in the How-To section. If anyone has any pointers please post them here and maybe I'll do a write up on mine. I have alot of chips in my plastic set and I want to paint it black along with my rims.

im making it black since I plan on accenting my car.
phenix fyah -- it would probably look alot ****ing better than chipped and scratched so shut the **** up unless you have information to give.

need some more info on what you plan to do to them? Like a matte or flat finish?? or a BC CC black(shiny)??? Personally I think it would look kinda out of place with black door handles on a yellow car and let me exlpain why. There are not any breaking lines around the door handles. Painting them would not be a huge issue but if you deciede to Remove them from the door(not all the way just enough off the door you can mask around them) AND DO NOT USE A RATTLE CAN TO SPRAY THEM or you are not going to like it. IF you are going with a matte finish then rattle on rattle on, but the longevity of the rattle can will prolly be less then a year. I am a painter so feel free to PM with any questions you may have and I will gladly help you out the best i can with advice. Later and good luck bro

IMHO the black and yellow theme will make your car resemble a bumble bee, but if you must do it I think that carbon fiber would look better. I have never seen CF doorhandles tho.
