hi everyone, as you can see from the pic below, I need to repaint the door handle/bar as it's all scratched up. I'm not sure what kind of spray paint I could use as I don't know what it's made of. Is there a color code to match it up exactly?

I also have to repaint this plastic trim around the stereo controls. As you can see it is chipped. This should be start forward. I'm guessing it would be the same color as the door handle/bar. Maybe I can use the same spray paint for it. Any ideas? thx in advance

I removed my trim piece around the radio and just peeled it the rest of the way off. I was going to paint it. But, It looks great once you peel it all off. I just left it like that.
The handle is just made of plastic. If you paint, remember it's all in the prep work. Youtube a few how to paint plastic car parts vids. ...It looks like most of the damage is from someone's ring. My Mother's all black Accord has these same scratches all over every handle inside and out.

thanks for the input. Are you sure that handle/bar is plastic? It seems like it's made of something else.... like metal or aluminum
 






It's plastic. You can also use Krylon Fusion for plastics. I've used it with good results inside and out of the truck.
