    Yeah you can use it, if i was going to use it on the exterior i would shoot some clear over it for protection.

    YEah if your painting door handles its fine.

    i wouldnt paint my car with enamels these days. But a handle will be sweet you wont even notice the difference.

    haven't painted them yet, only tried on a spare handle i have lying around. The pic i posted is the handles on me VS, for some reason this is how they are, im not sure why they look like this but both the front ones are like this...looks like there was a sticker over it or something


    i want to paint them which i will be doing soon and will just use teh gloss black

    As a guess... I would say your car has spent some time with its front end under a tarp?
