    my door handles are faded and when we paint my car is there any special paint needed to paint the door handles to blend in with the paint job?
    last time i painted plastic it melted.

    Well that's why they stuffed up, You are meant to prep/undercoat them, like you would on any panel of the car.

    You can't just paint over them..

    Give them a scotchbrite, then whip down with some prepsol. Then hit em with two coats of plastic primer, the first dusted on and a heavier second coat.
