first off i have searched so dont tell me to search again. I have the magnectic black color and was wondering what kind of black should i go with for my door handles. I dont want it to be too shiny but at the same time i dont want it to be flat black becasue the rest of the car has tiny sparkels due to it being Magnectic Black. Opinions needed please

 

You didn't search hard enough...in one of these threads is a black z with black door handles...which will give you an idea...

 

I looked through those i only saw a silver z with matte door handles and in another one someone commented on his black car saying he did gloss black. ill take a look again..

 

maybe color match the car

 

Post a pic of your car and i'll PS it when I get home...

 

old bump so i read more and some people said powdercoating is not a good idea. Has anyone done this? Also are the handles plastic or aluminum?

Someone chime in on the color please i still haven't decided to go flat or MB

thanks

 

Powdercoating will not work. The handles are plastic(Somewhere on the handle the plastic type is inscribed. I think it is ABS IIRC).
The handle color is personal preference. If you want the handle to be an accenting feature, then you may want to paint it flat black, but imo it would only look nice if you have other pieces that are flat black. So, if that's not the case, I would colormatch them.

 

^^ thanks so i should paint it and have a clear bra on it maybe?

my wheels are matte black and semi gloss. my headlights are kinda similar color so maybe i should get it mb?

 

Mine is metallic black too. When I swap out my Grand Touring wheels for the Nismo ones I am going to paint the handles K11 to match the wheels. I painted the diffuser on my Chargespeed replica rear K11 too so hopefully that will tie it all together nicely.

 

bump in need for better pics than in other threads

 

I'd say magnetic black...Just color match the car if anything.

 

^^ thanks prolly gonna do that, anyone have pics?

 

Here are a few of mine. Painted magnetic black and clear bra'd door handles.

 

Absolutely perfect^^^^
