Door handles painted in Los Angeles.....where?
 

Has anyone had their handles painted at a shop here in Los Angeles? Are they holding up well? I've asked at a few shops and Ive gotten resounding NO's. They say the paint wont stick. I don't want to have this conversation with any more paint shops, so just let me know where to go. Thanks in advance!

paint wont stick, yet it comes painted from the factory. :icon14:

I've not bothered to ask. I just did them myself, and since Im the only one who is always in it? The handles have held good. Yea you may need to touch them up if they get chipped but thats the price you pay for doing it yourself with paint out of a can. I've heard of people using plactic-dip to do them but could not vouch on how they look.

I took mine to Quigley's Auto Body (Complete auto body repair and painting at Quigley's Auto Body in Lake Forest, CA). I removed them myself and took them down w/ my gas cover to color match. So far, they've been perfect (about 8 months). They're in OC, but worth the drive. :tup:

I had mine painted in a backyard shop in So Cal, cost was pretty cheap... just a reacharound, I'll post some pics for you tonight to see the quality. :tup:

Good to know :tiphat:

:shakes head:

Coming from a guy who's handles were painted with a can of paint per handle :p

if you're going to use rattle can paint, use Duplicolor Engine Enamel. why? cause this thing sticks very well and doesn't chip much. i used it on my dd's fog lamp plastic surround piece 3yrs ago and they are in excellent condition. :)

Yeah seriously... what kinda idiot would do something like that?! :icon17:

one can per handle? damn... how HUGEGANGEOUS are your handles now? :D

I had mine done at Nissan Cerritos Collision center. Cerritos Collision
It looks OEM and Zero issues. Ask for Danny.

Thank you kindly everyone. Really appreciate the info. Think Ill check out Cerritos. Great!

Hey all, I ended up going to Cerritos and Danny did a great job! Looks factory and paint is holding really nicely. No chips or anything. Highly recommend. BTW, 370zNismo66, I got the other black embem they tested for you. Ha! They just gave it to me.
