I had my 350z handles painted and they held up for the 7 years of owning it. The only issue when you paint the handles is when the handle is closed it hides the back/underside of the handle so when they paint it make sure they spray inside there too.

If you dont know what i mean when you open your handle you will see a small spot underneath that if the handle was painted laying normal this spot would not get sprayed....

Mike, i can bring a set of door handles over sometime if you'd wanna try.

Sure!

Chris said hes comin over some sat to do his S bar. ill prolly make it out same time then.

:tup:

B@t™

we'll find out if they melt on saturday!

Did they melt?

I ended up not making it out there fella's. sorry. I'll talkt o mike about going another time.

What is the going rate for painting a pair of door handles? I will remove them and take them to the painter to save some time.

I was quoted at $400 for removal, prep, and paint and then reinstall. Seemed kinda high so I didn't do it, I'll jus remove them and have them painted.

Jus to give you an idea. I'm sur there's better deals to be had... :tiphat:

I removed mine myself and had them painted for $95.

Baker did mine. It was part of all the other work done, but I think it was $200.

I paid 395 for removal, paint and reinstall of my door handles and taillights when I got the car.
