I had my wheels plastidipped for awhile. Im planning on doing the door handles... I ended up peeling the plastidip off my wheels because they were chipping but if I decide to reverse the handles after plastidippin them at least the install is easy

 

I could see plati-dip As a temperarey thing to see if your going to like it or not. The handles are a high traffic are as in opening the door and rocks, but if you like it after a week or so I would paint them. That's just my thought on them but what I wish Nissan would have done from the assembly line was color match them to the car cause it would look so much cleaner.

 

Christ this thread is a blast from the past for me lol..

How things have changed..
Im bored w my CF handles now too..

hoping someone had done something diff on here by now that would pique my curiosity.
Dunno.. might have to leave them after all.

 

Whats that lip called i want it.

 

I need to do mine soon.

 

Here are mine before I sold the Z.

Color matched myself with Autozone paint. Have a can and a half left if any other silverstone owners want them.

 

I will contribute. My Brickyard Red painted Door handles.

Thanks *****!

Here is a before pic of the door handles for comparison.

 

I know this is an old thread but here is a couple of new pics of mine after I lowered it on Stance GR+ Pro true coil-overs with Swift springs and all cleaned up.

those taking it to a bodyshop to get this done, how much are they charging you? would love to do this to my IF

 

I took Canards, Louvers, Door Handles, Eye Lids and a rear wiper cap (9 total pieces) and a cheap body shop wanted $250 I believe. (I supplied the paint via paintscratch[com])

Instead, I just had a friend of a friend, who worked at a shop but painted on the side; paint mine... and it turned out pretty good. Paid $250 for everything I think...


Taywan and boliviandaddy23; those both look clean, post pics once installed please.

I ordered 3m scratch protector film to put over mine, but it ended up being too much of a hassle trying to install it, so I forgoed the clear protectant.. still holding up great 6 months later.

 

Mine costed me free

 

Same color as the nismo front lip

 

Craig, you should get chargespeed bottom line sides and paint them the nismo lip color
