Woah the colour coded door handles makes a huge difference, did you just remove them and paint straight away, and could you show me what paint you used, as I want to do the same and have the same colour car as you lol.

Keep up the good work :thumbsup:

yeah they make the car look alot cleaner i think! yeah easyest job ever, just opened the door and theres a torx screw opposite the handle, undo that. pull the handle towards the front of the car and it slips out :)i used halfords volkswagen flash red mate :) rubbed them down, couple coats of plastic primer and then couple of coats of flash red :) did you want an actual picture of the can mate?

Cheers man.

Just looked on the Halfords site, I guess this is the same one? VW Flash Red?

yes that is the 1 paint :) i find the match is very good to!!

did you take the lock out first

nope i didnt, what i did was put masking tape over the area of the lock then with a knife cut the masking tape around where the lock is,so it dosnt flow onto the actual handle and it worked fine for me mate :)

hope this helped :)

Oh right heh. Yeah that would be much simpler :)

Might give it a go sometime soon!

Thanks :D

yeah you should mate!! really cheap and effective! id spray them inside some where tho because i sprayed in my garage first time and it was way to cold so the paint never dried completely =/

Was This the primer you used by any chance?

Lol I recently sprayed the badge of my grille in the garage..however the shit weather conditions and cold (even though I did it in the middle of garage and put some old towels down in front of the garage door) made the paint chip off as it didn't dry properly :/

Will either do them inside or wait for the weather to pick up a bit :)

Just looks like it could be that tiny bit lower to make it look even better :lol:

I colour coded my door handles, they turned out okay...my brother stood on one of them while they were drying lol.

But cheers for the advise :p
