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.
