Painted the door handles

Sprayed with Dupicolor Nissan dark gray not a exact match but I think it looks better than the original color :tup:

Was going to black to match wheels thought the gray blends better with the PG Z

looks good from photos, it isn't an obvious difference...

where did you get your wheels done? are they powder coated or painted?

kenchan 05-01-2011 03:45 PM

that apple logo is tacky. :ugh2: :icon17:

Hell, these are a better paint match than Nissan's own plastic panels on the 370Z!

Looks great, I dont really see a difference in pics. Nissan should do this from the factory anyway. These things look so out of place until they are color matched.

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??

ZCarMan 05-02-2011 03:51 PM

Waiz 05-02-2011 04:38 PM

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.

bump paint info

Lemers 05-05-2011 09:50 PM

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

caneman88 05-06-2011 08:04 PM

I tried to match the body color Platinum Graphite
I was going to match the black wheels but I choose the PG match.:ugh2:

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?
