Not only that, but if it does chip or scratch or come off, you can take the can- Spray the area- And 30 seconds later it looks perfect again.

Black Door Handles:
Plastidip- $2.50 for half the can
Paint/Powdercoat- $50-100
CF Handles- $200

They all look awesome. Save your money. & Listen to someone with actual experience.

You told me not to make assumptions, but yet you assumed that I had never plasti dipped my door handles before. The first time I took off my door handles I plasti dipped them and they looked awesome for a month and a half. After that, it began to peel up pretty bad where the part of the door handle that turns meets the base. I also do not want you to assume that I did not do it properly, because I have plasti dipped my buddies entire car before, along with several sets of wheels. I know how the product works. Im not looking for a fight, but I dont like being called out.

My advice: If the surface you want to plasti dip moves in a manner that it touches another surface, I would not use plasti dip.

But hey, it is your car and you should do what you want with it! I was just offering some advice that I thought would save you time in the future.

Good luck to the OP, and Nick, I hope your plasti dipped handles continue to look great!
