Default GOT RID OF THE NASTY SILVER Handles

First of it's not gonna be easy. YOu must first remove the 10 mm bolts on the corner (2) and one torx on drivers side. The passenger side wont have this. Remove the door handle cable and uncrew the 2 phillips screws w/ plate to remove door switch. Re install those 2 screws so you wont loose them back on take them off when your ready to disassemble them. Remove door tumbler rod, just a clip. When you got the driver's side off remove the tumbler. It's retained by a 10 mm bolt. Remove the lil plate holding the rear full molding. Remove the black molding. Heres the tricky part you must put a flat head screw driver in the lil slot when the handle is completely open to keep it from closing. zip tie ito the main arm and anchor. This will keep it from closing and will help on holding it when your shooting it with paint. Then cut the zip to shoot the top. YOu will do this a couple of times to ensure all paint and clear is on. Unfortunately there is two square gaskets on the handle that will make the paint come off. I went to and cut those of a wrecked 350z and 3m glued it tomake it stick to prevent it from cracking the rest of the paint and two so it wonts rip the other gasket. Here's pics of the finished products.
