My door handles are very faded. I want to repaint them. Is there a way to take them off, or should I just cover around them and paint it. Also, what are my options paint-wise? Like spray, brush, etc... And where would I get the paint?

Just being nitpicky, though. That looks damn near flawless. I couldn't ever spray that well, very nice job

How is it after several months of owning my car (and over 5-6 years of having the car in the family) i haven't noticed the door handles are plastic? =_= Stupid me. -------------------- ~Moving on to a 2002 Corolla S~ R.I.P Tom Celica - 1994-2010 |
