so did you sand them? primer them? or did you just take them off and whip out the can of paint and get to it??

Here is the painting info: I lightly sanded just to take the existing shine off the handles then cleaned with 91% alcohol then just sprayed 3 light coats of paint and 2 coats of clear coat.
there are 3 screws holding the driver side handle and 2 on the pass side remove rubber grommets to access the screws use a magnetic head or you have to take door panel off to find the screws that can fall down in the door.

I believe any painting of the handles should be to color match another part of the car. Like calipers, rims, body

I tried to match the body color Platinum Graphite
I was going to match the black wheels but I choose the PG match.

Good job! I was thinking of painting mine black (Monterey Blue 09 370z) but I don't have much black on the car minus a tint coming this week and my body shop spraying the fangs all black. May consider a roof wrap as well.

What do you guys think?
