My door handles are starting to fade so I want to paint them. First off, I know they are rivited on so I cant take them off. But anyway,

what process, and paint can I use to make it look decent? Should I sand down the handles, I know I wont get a car paint finish I just want it better than it is now.

thanks gimp. I will do that unless I get told otherwise. when did you do it? is it holding up ok?
 






Make sure and mask and tape everything off around the handle. You can never have enough paper.

 






yeah really perry, ihave learned that.
 






alright cool thanks Gimp.
 






I did mine with SEM Trim Black. Perfect match. You can get this stuff at auto body paint supply places. I also clear-coated mine so they wouldn't fade again.

peace
