Yes, recommended to me for this mod by two forum members.

wow! great outcome

Looks great! Those stock silver handles are awful ... much needed change that was overlooked on the 13's.

How well would these handles hold up compared to Factory painted parts?

I never understood the silver door handles lol. If your going to call attention to something ... why a door handle :confused:

eastwest2300 09-14-2012 10:54 AM

Yeah, I might be interested in doing this too.

But gas prices are too high. :p

If you do a decent job, it won't be as noticeable. Even my plasti dipped door handles looked good :icon17:

I've had mine for just about two years now and they show no signs of fading or wear so far. They look like they came from the factory that way. :tup:

They do the full painting process: Wet sand, prime, paint, paint again, clearcoat, bake. Should last just as long as any of your other factory paint lasts.

Paint blending is not my forte and I wouldn't trust anyone other than a professional shop to make it look like what I ended up with. Not like they charged me a fortune to do it.

eastwest2300 09-14-2012 02:36 PM

They did a good job. Im pretty sure I know how they did it. The process they used..
