Quite a few people have painted their door handles.
Although the handles look like aluminum, they are actually a hard polymer, and thus can NOT be powder coated.
If you want to paint them, remove them for the car (a few bolts plus removing some linkage), scuff them up with some fine grit sand paper, primer and spray the color you want. Follow up with some wet sanding, clear coat and some more wet sanding for an outstanding final product.

I'd like to shave them also, but don't want to deal with the tickets.
Has anyone tried putting old-school handles on like the chrome ones with the white button? I think that would look stupid fresh.
Also, what kind of wheels are those HarryPotter?
