Hey guys,
I know theres quite a few threads about removing them, but no CLEAR pics about the process besides the obvious two screw/bolt removal....has anyone locally done this to be painted???

Thanks

I'll be probably doing that this summer, depending on the status of other projects for the car, but it can't be that hard to find, google wiki 350z doorhandle removal

 

How about checking the FSM?

 

Yeah I am sure its fairly easy and straightforward, from what I hear, I am just a visual guy, and I can't find heavily detailed pics anywhere. I'm gonna have a stab at it tonight and I will post a DIY for anyone interested.

i painted mine last summer they r simple to take it out , just 2 two bolts and u slide the handles upward ..

 

They are not very complicated to remove, you just need to make sure you have a magnetized socket set so that you don't lose the screws in the door. It's a ***** to remove the door panels.

Paint is pretty straightforward:

Prep/ clean
Light sand
Primer
Paint
Allow to dry

 

From what I read, is the driver's side door handle removed differently from the passenger, because of the actual "lock" piece?? Thats why I am a little hesistant, I dont want to mess it up
