wide Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 hi all, ive got a kuro gt just de-badged the front & back & got rid of the indicators & z badges for the 370z z repeators all very subtle changes, now i'm thinking i should have painted the door handles at the same time. so my question is should they stay silver or go black, im leaning towards black, think it will look more stealthier. my alloys are a dark bronze. what do you lot think???

Husky Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 If you are going for the stealth look, having black door handles make a huge difference on all the cars I have seen with them and the owners always seem happy with the results. If that's your thing I say go for it Quote
bhavin85 Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 I painted mine Matte Black...sorry for the crappy quality pics..but you get the idea Side View Front View I would definetly say you should do it Quote
ChrisS Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 Yes to black,Gloss but that's just my pref or maybe dark bronze like you wheels ?? but not sure..... Quote
wide Posted October 5, 2010 Author Posted October 5, 2010 right i've decided im gonna do it! now i'm unsure wether to do it in the same black as the car or matte black? thanks for the pics & help. matt Quote
Ian Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 Do them gloss. I had mine done in matte black & they didn't hold up to the winter & have now faded & flaked Quote
wide Posted October 6, 2010 Author Posted October 6, 2010 wouldnt that just be down to the quality of the respray? shorely colour shouldn't matter??? Quote
Ian Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 Theres no protection, no laquer & you cant really wax them Quote
UNABASHED Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 there's laquer and wax for matt paint isn't there? Quote
Ian Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 I think theres wax but no laquer that I'm aware of Quote

Dblock Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 are the handles not metal? Could you not get them powdercoated? Quote
