Default I want to powdercoat my door handles

Does anyone know anywhere where I can get my doorhandles and emblems either painted in black or powdercoated? I dont think paint is an option because its plastic. also, around how much should this cost? any help would be greatly appreciated

I would really like my emblems to be black. I attempted to lightly sand and spray paint a Nissan emblem for practice. It came out decent, except the actual Nissan wording also came out black and it didnt look that good. Also the paint came off pretty easily. Probably needs a sealer of some sort.

you can't powdercoat plastic. it has to bake at 400 degrees. If you want anything metal powdercoated, let me know though.

your best bet is to have a body shop paint them. Any competent shop should be able to.
