Need to repaint the exterior door handles due to chips & scratches.

What is the best paint to use on these and has anyone used something like a pad instead of spray painting?

Thanks for any help

 

fyi I think Goodfellas is running a Group Buy for them.

 

I was also wondering what paint to use.

 

Maybe best would be to powdercoat them.

 

I would use a regular automotive 2 stage base/clear.

 

I used this on mine with great results. It goes on thick and it kept the same OEM look.

 

use a good quality primer/gloss black paint and then color sand it til its smooth as glass

 

Thanks A.

I do have some left over from the GB, price is retarded cheap. If interested PM me

 

i used duplicolor primer, gloss black, and clear coat. some prep work and wet sanding after clear coat and they turned out great.

 

I'm selling an extra used set. Pics here...

I'll sell to you for $60 if you like. I really think buying from goodfellas is the way to go since you will get a pristine set. If you do buy my set, you can experiment on your door handles and have a backup just in case!

Bill Im curious as to the results of your suggestion. Do you have pics?

 

Ive color sanded some black painted fd parts and will try and take some pictures. with the correct sandpaper and polish the results are perfect...
