Also, you should reread the thread - the reason why we did not powdercoat is because you can't powdercoat plastic - Yes the handles are plastic with an aluminum coating that has been laid on top like an adhesive

Hmmm...interesting. I've never been a big fan of non-colormatched door handles on a sports car, whether painted a diff color, chrome or whatever. Chrome can look good on a VIP or luxury car, imo...

I detail cars all the time, door handles are all scratched up to hell..especially in the inner part where the nails touch i guess. Just have to be more careful with a black painted piece on the car.
honestly, idk how some people handle their door handle...but i know i barely touch or apply much pressure to my door handle...so idk how much wear it can possibly recieve, unless you like man handle it or something everytime.

Thanks guys!
For anyone who wants to get this done the door handles literally takes 10 minutes to remove and 10 minutes to put back. All you need is a small flat head, a 10mm socket wrench, and thats it

How much?
How long did the painter have them for, and is he willing to do more?
On another note, does anyone know how much a stock one would cost, if they are not to expensive I will buy 2 and send them out to get painted, without any downtime with the car.
