    Default Chrome handles

    hey guys, just wondering if its possible to paint strip and polish the exterior door handles on vt-vx's....if they come up any good or are you better off getting the ones that are already chrome.

    Better of getting the chrome ones as the others are plastic.

    No idea really since you can get chrome plastic. Your best bet it to ask the seller.

    Indeed, but I haven't seen proper Chrome handles, which is a shame. How good would they look on a black car?

    For the record all stock handles are a cream coloured plastic under the paint.

    My Caprice handles are chrome and metal.

    Really?! Epic, they ARE chrome? Must be for the Caprice, but based on the front of your car, doesn't surprise me :P

    Holmart have chrome handles but I don't know whether the chrome parts are metal or not but I would assume so.

    For $225 you'd want them to be metal :P
