To anyone that has painted their door handles, how did you get the inside part? And does your button stick now? And has anyone tried to remove plastidip from handles yet?

Just spray in there but make sure you get it well. It seems I had to spray more in the area though. Also the button shouldn't stick. If I remember right it doesn't fill in that portion. If it does after ever coat take a tooth pick and trace that area when it's wet.

Thanks guys. I think I'm going to do this.

Yes, I am going to do this as well, so Flush are you expecting the door handles to hold up after usage of opening and closing?

I hope so..

There's going to be a lot of funky Zs in a few years roaming around with peeling handles and rims.

Then the masses that don't understand will be like wtf.

nmjaxx9 · 03-06-2012, 10:54 AM

Yeah decided to stick with just doing the emblems for now, I think ill wait on the handlebars, maybe get them professionally done later.

Hey Guys PM zentropy. His handles are PLASTI-dipped and are holding up pretty well. The inside will start to peel after a while, but that should be obvious.

We just did our camaro's side emblems which are waaay more complex than the Nissan burgers yet it worked perfectly. Peeled off around the camaro in one piece! As for my handles, which I spray painted with Krylon fusion, my passenger button sticks but still works. The drivers side is perfect.

I think it's just a matter of how much build up is around the buttons when your done. And as for painting the entire area. I had the handle propped open using a small screw to get the area you don't see unless your pulling the handle to open it which worked perfectly.

The one thing I learned about this stuff is that it's not going to damage anything (paint) or you be unable to get it off if you dont want it on. We had to wipe off some overspray from the hood between a couple of the coats when it was windy and it just comes right off after hardening.

We did 4 coats 10-15 minutes apart even though it says wait an hour between them. Then we waited overnight to peel off the rectangle from the camaro just to be on the safe side. It says wait 4 hours per coat to dry completely but I think one hour would have been enough. There's no risk

^^^^Whoa I think u went a lil over board with that masking job, jus to be doing that side emblem! Jk man it came out really well.

Side note to those interested in doing their handles it holds up extremly well rain or shine. I was hesitant about doing the handles also but I'm glad I went ahead and did it. My car lives outside for the time being, jus be sure to clean and prep them well I used rubbing alcohol with q-tips. Make sure u spray the inside where your fingers grab otherwise eventually it will start to peel off inside. But that's to be expected it's a $5 dollar mod, hope this helps!

Better to be safe then sorry!

Kool, still thinking about doing the door handles, how was usage of the driver door handle especially affected the plasti dip? Like when you open/close it constantly do you find it peeling?

Just a FYI if you don't want to get some of the better paint prep solevents there are better common solevents than isopropanol - methanol will leave less residue than isopropanol. Ethanol is the best of the alcohols - the use it in our calibration lab where they can't have any residue on the equipment under test in the physical properties lab.
