This is my next project. RoTors350Z where did you get the DB paint? How much did you need?

 

Body shop did mine and they said it was a pain in the ***...but I would like to hear others opinions on that. Im starting to feel like they said that to justify how much I was paying. Though they did take those bastards completely apart and there are lots of pieces to them.

 

oops

 

Very nice! Looks great

I plan to take my car out of storage early to drop off at the body shop to get this done. Then onto another shop to have my V3 bumper filled & sprayed so I can install my canards.

 

Thanks for editing that pic.

I know its not going to be that cheap. Like you said, there are alot of pieces to paint & clear. But it's worth it! My Silver door handles look like **** with the gunmetal ground effects, Matte black wheels and Redline paint. It's just way to busy for my tastes.

I totally agree with you on the looks end thats why I did it. if you have the cash and your willing to spend it, do it. From your mod list youv put a lot of money into your Z.

 

matte black door handles

 

JUST DID MINE!!! PIECE OF CAKE

DIDNT SPEND A PENNY.
REMOVED

SANDED LIGHTLY AND SOME BULLDOG

PAINTED BLACK THEN RESANDED AND PAINTED AGAIN

CLEARED

 

If you guys want an easier way and would like the matte black look, then you can just use plastidip to spray paint them. I did that to my front and back emblems and want to do the handles as well, so will most likely use the same thing to achieve the same look. And the best part of plastidip is that it's 100% reversible. Peels right out if you decide that you don't want the look anymore.

 

Is it still grey behind the part of the handle you pull up?

 

Nissan needs to start painting matching them from the factory and stop being cheap!

 

The DB pics aren't of my Z. Mine is the MB Z in my first post. I had a shop do it.

You guys that get your handles painted may want to consider having them Clear Bra'd too. It'll save you the headaches of the scratches they'll get being handled all the time.

 

I missed that it was someones car.

Whose is it?

 

Amen brother!

ZS14 Nice job.

I really should take on more projects by myself but I never seem to find the time. I will mount my canards after I have the shop fill & shave my bumper. I was going to remove my V3 bumper and take it to the shop but said SCREW it, I want to get the door handles done! So I will just bring them the car now. Thats all I am doing to the car this year...

 

i have a flat black wrap with carbonfiber handles.. anyone want a pic?

.....so thot id ask first before i got beaten with reeds behind the shed from someone.

 

Nice, lets see some pics!

And wins them all!

 

It's one of the few I have that I've taken with my crappy "point and shoot"! Finally broke down and got a decent DSLR a couple weeks ago, now just need to learn how to use it.
