Default Can You Powder Coat the Door Handles

My powder coating guy thinks the handles are not solid metal, and he does not want to put them in the oven

Try it and let us know

Seriously tho, if you don't want to use your own, see if you could get some from a junkyard ... they might look pretty cool if chromed too ...

Take the handles to a paint shop and tell them what you want. They will suggest the proper technique.
