Painted Door Handles!!!!!(Pics)

I painted the door handles of my Z. I think they came out pretty good. I used the Spray Can of body color i ordered through my local parts dept. Sanded em down, sprayed some adhesion promoter, white sandable primer, body color, and lots of clear coat.I think the speaker covers are next. We'll see! Tell me what ya think!

I know! I think i'll do the front and rear speaker grills and that's it. I was debating doing the instrument cluster housing, but that might be too much. Thanks for all the compliments!

Those look great. I would not do the speaker grilles, it would be too much blue on the doors. I think the instrument cluster surround and possibly the frame of the HUD would look cool, and fit the theme. Just a little color to break up the sea of black.
