Hey Everyone,
My other half was at work so i thought i would pass sometime and make another how to on how to paint your VT/VX & I think VY Door Handles.
I Take no responsibility for anything you perform your self. This is just to be used as a guide.
Now, I Like the Silver door handles on the up markets commies, So i decided to paint them. Cost about $15 and takes no time at all.
First Remove Door handle shown here.
Remove the Screw Cover plug
Then Remove the screw holding the door handle
Then Unhook the handle from the door release wire.
Now you have the door handle removed. Remove the Pin holding the handle shown here, Use a flat head to lift the pin up.
Now you Have the Handle on its own like here
Now Use some wax and grease remover, and clean the handle right up. Apply the 1st coat, allow to dry, then the second etc. Then Apply some Clear coat to the handle, I applied 3 or4, since the handle needs to be hard wearing.
After allowing to dry. Put the Handle back in and push the pin back in, Should now look like this.
Now reverse to fit the door handle. Should look like this.
And if you want, Do your whole dash.
Here is the link to the how to
