Don't go there! That's too much! $25 for me, but I was getting my rims painted so they just painted my door handles to match.

I called around after I got off the phone with them and a few other shops wanted $100-135. So I guess that was way too much. Do I have to worry about any type of peeling from the handles??? Also they asked if they were going to have to take apart the handle to get at all the areas?? I told them I had no idea......

Little insight---I'm painting a friends side skirts and bumper---Super black. Paint Materials are not a penny less than 200.00 and will end up 250.00

Then theres disassembly, prep, prime, paint, polish, reassembly.

I dont care how big a door handle is compared to a bumper or skirts, Its all relative. I paint door handles and Headlights---It takes time, and Materials cost for a nice job

Helps if you CAN get them done all at once, but if thats not the case, I would not touch a set of handles for less that 125.00 even if I had left over materials to paint them with

I'm going to smooth mine (to get out that stupid 3-dimple idea all over the car) and paint them when I paint the rest of the car.
