Where do you guys get these things painted? a local dealership or do you do it yourself? and about how much does it cost?
Thanks

any local body shop should do it, if you
remove the handles and mirrors yourself, they
should charge less labor. Some shops wont
guarantee the paint cause handles get
scratched by keys etc.

Thanks for the quick response.
How do you remove the door handles and mirrors tho? Do you have to rip apart the inside of the door?
thanks.

for like $200 bucks per door, you could have
the handles shaved and doors painted...might
be a better choice in the long run, if your going
for a custom look.

getting the mirrors off is easy but how do you get the door handles off. I looked at it and their is a lot of moving parts in there. Anyone who has some tips would be nice?

My local shop wouldn't even paint them for me! I ask and they said that because they are textured, the paint won't stick. WTF? I hate hillbilies! So how do 1000's of other people get their paint to " stick ?" Let me know please!

some people sand them but I talked to a guy who said you just use a really sticky primer. He also used it on his stock mirrors. He has had his for about a year and hasn't had any scratches.

DakSport,
I asked the same question about window cranks awhile back heres one of the answers I got, "use a metal coat hange with a bent tip to remove the clip that holds them on.
the secrete to putting them back on is putting the clip on the handle, just as it would be when it is all together, and then simply push it on." I forgot who gave me this info, thanks to whoever it was and I hope it helps you out.
