Painted door handles or Black?

[rdomeck]

I have my car apart to paint and was wondering if anyone has pictures of their door handles painted body color? Would like to see how it looks, but I'm thinking of painting mine white to match the car!

My car is Black but I still left the handles unpainted, they were never painted from the factory so I kept them that way, I'm sure there are other guys on here that have painted theirs though. I might paint mine black this time around to experiment and see how they'll look though, mines in the paint shop right now

My vote, paint them.

White handles look good. Plus they would be easy to put back to stock if you change your mind.

I would like them white. (Just in case you ever decide to sell the car back to me) /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Paint them body color. It makes the car look much more up-to-date.

I guess they will get painted white then!

Painted door handles ftw.

I like the white handles/white car look, I painted mine flat black but my cars black now, matching colors with the body looks pretty sharp.

Paint them. Makes the car look much nicer, even if Nile Black.

I will do my BG car when I get to it.

Love this thread, I've been asking myself the same question. Question, on a white car what do you do with the black rubber gasket behind the handle? I really don't want to paint the car with the handles on it; it's a much cleaner paint job painting them separate.

Remove the handles and get new rubber base gaskets from JNZtuning.com. They are only about $10 each.

I'm referring to the color of the gasket. I think it woud look tacky with them black; or are they hard enough that they can be painted as well with the handles? I currently have all of my handles off the car.

Gaskets painted looks sloppy. It will look like you didn't even bother to remove the hanles for paint. You need the detail, trust me.

 

[GSX_TC]

What did all the guys that painted their handles white do?

 

[Terry Posten]

Boy, your grammar is hard to follow.

Are you saying my car looks like a base model POS or are you saying that painted black handles on a white car looks like a base model POS?

 

[PreskitVR4]

I think he means unpainted = base model. I had to reread too.

Please paint the door handles, black door handle on a white car will make it look like a base model pos.

DUH, guess I should of enlarged the picture. I see the black gaskets now behind the handles. That VR4 looks damn nice.
