Wraping door handles

Im looking at painting mine. One quesion, how does painting them hold up? As obviously they have hands and fingers rubbing on them regularly, so wouldnt want the paint to fade/come off shortly after they have been done.

 

i would just be looking at sanding them, priming them and then a satin anthracite to finish. As i dont want a gloss finish.

 

any advice or experience to share would be good :thumbs:

Just make sure you give them a good coating of lacquer also. Make sure they are completely dry as well before driving as mine weren't the 1st time round. That's why they were done again...

You'll want to use a lacquer as well, but go for a matt / satin one.

 

 

Perfect, thanks guys! Didnt know you could get non gloss laquers...
