Painting door handles? hmmmm. Kinda hard. Why? You ask... If you want it to look good, you'll have to buy your car's real paint according to your car's paint code. You'll have to shoot real primer & that car's paint.

There's a couple other things you'll need, and i forget what they are. The door handles are not metal, they're plastic, and paint needs a special promoter/applicator to make it stick.

In essence the stages would be...
prep (promoter)
wet sand then primer
paint
clear
wet sand (2000 grit)

And if you want this to look sharp, you cant do it out of a can, its gotta be through a REAL paint gun.

Yeah I would not recommend doing this yourselves. I paid $160 to get both done and it was well worth it. Also bear in mind that if you don't have brand spanking new paint on the car, you're going to need to blend in order to get it to match the rest of the vehicle.

Hey blades, thanks for posting up those pics, I just got to see them, im finally home from work.. Im about to fall asleep for the next 2 days...

dmhenderson · 09-16-2012, 08:37 AM

Oh you're missing the "bake" step too for the handles.

dmhenderson · 09-16-2012, 08:46 AM

So next saturday I'm only going to crack open my right headlight to fix the nicks on it. The other one I'm going to pull out just to reseal but shouldn't take much time at all.

Sales@AAMComp · 09-16-2012, 09:37 AM
