As we all know these have a tendency to scratch, flake and generally look a bit naff.

So who has done what with theirs? Pics please

 

I've had mine flocked but they'll wear but look better than scratched ones.

 

seen nasty grab things that wrap round handle on ebay....

 

I repaired mine then painted them

 

Flocked mine. Only cost about Ł30 from Chris Latham.

 

Jay the moderator does flocking

 

I sanded mine right down and used some plactic bumper paint and so far so good.

 

Sanded mine right down, coat of adhesion aid, primed up and sprayed them grey finished with 2K lacquer.

 

^^ they both look good.

 

Vinylkote ill be using on mine. Or grey with a matte lacquer.

 

Decided to dig up this old thread as I just painted my door handles, however the shade of grey I used dried too bright. So I thought I would try them black, but it just doesnt look right.

Does anyone have any pictures of theirs fitted and the shade of grey you used?

cheers.

I trimmed a set in black vinyl years ago to go with my black and red leather which looked good, i'm gonna do the same to the ones for my rwd S2 but i'm going to try and remove some grey door card vinyl and use that as it'll match better.

I've tried painted ones and they don't quite look right without the textured effect.

really need to do something with mine looks like a dog has been using it as a chew toy lol

 

Go to your local bodyshop paint supplier ,they will mix up the colour you need in to a rattle can may also get a mottle effect there to get the right texture

 

I had mine painted in a grey gloss color almost the same as the original color.

 

can someone give me an actual paint code or grey used for the RS door handles or where purchases that matches and not just like
