As and aside to the Cabby I have been sorting the perennial problem that is scabby Mk4 interior door handles, I may even start a separate thread on this for anyone else who may find it useful

So I bought a spare pare to practice on from eBay so if they go wrong I haven't destroyed anything and if the go right I can swap them over for the ones on my blue Mk4 then Dad's Cabby :top

So here is the story so far



The first thing I did was make a quick holding jig for priming and painting when ready



A view of the handles before work



They then had a skim over with some filler to get rid of the first imperfections and then blocked back using 3M Production Paper



The were then sanded back again with 400 WoD until nice and smooth

Once they were prepped they then had a few coats of filler primmer and that's how they are now hardening of for a good few days after which I will then flat them back and sort any fine imperfections.

That's in for now, any comments welcome
