Default Powder Coating door handles?

Does anyone know if the door handles are solid metal ? I went to get them powder coated and the man does not want to put them in the oven util we are sure.

Be sure that if you paint them, primer them with a special plastic adhesive or your paint will eventually peel off.

Looks great. I think I am going to paint mine gunmetal. I have a silverstone and the gunmetal is a little darker. I think it would be a nice compliment.
