Without the door handles on...im going to paint my door handles tonight and want to know if i remove them and let them dry will i still be able to get into the car/drive it...i realize it'll look weird as hell but will it be possible to get into the car...if i hold the unlock button down...to roll the windows down and then use the handle inside the car to actually open the door. Any insight on this is greatly appreciated.

 

Just like you said - roll the windows down and use the inside handle.

 

Just want until you run out of that remote battery...

 

Didnt realize that the entire assembly came off with the handle...i painted them tonight while they were still on the car and masked off the entire side and hatch...ill post pics tomorrow it came out GREAT.

 

i cant wait for the pics.

 

i removed mine and covered them with plastic to sit over the open handles. I started to sand them while they were still on the car but found it was definitely easier to do with them removed. good luck

 

+1 sounds like he answered his own question.

 

Pics

 

climb through the hatch


hahah..

pics please, and post your process as this is something i am definitely interested in doing!

 

In for pics...

 

where be the pics????

 

Haha sorry guys, its done i just need to go out to the garage and shoot some pics...My process however was...first masking off each side in its entirety(i didnt remove the handle)..as well as the trunk lid because thats where any over spray wouldve gone...after masking off everything i used 600 grit sandpaper to slightly scuff up the handles, then i sprayed 4-5 coats of Krylon Fusion Paint for PLASTIC...paint dries very quick so after the last coat i waited 30 minutes and then sprayed 2-3 coats of clear...ill have pics up by tonight...it turned out way better then i ever imagined...

 

The only reason i havent posted yet is cause the cars filthy as soon as i give it a wash maybe tonight ill post them.

 

we dont care about dirt. I wanna see pics of the handles.

 

Please post pictures of teh handles, you answered your question in your orginal post.

 

 

haha here they r...Iphone pics so theyre lacking on quality and in one of the pictures thats a palm print, not a smudge...

 

I like it, not sure I would do this but looks good.
