Painting the door handles

[shueardm]

Hi guys
I have 2 cars, a VT and a VZ. Are the handles identical? I mean they look identical.
So I want to get a single door handle from a wreckers and then , one by one, spray and swap, spray and swap these over 8 times, make sense?
Using paint from aerosols will I be happy enough? These Commodore handles Vt-VZ ( especially the VZ ) seem to flake far too easy and I'd like to tidy it up.

edit : yes I forgot, two are different with key holes

And you have left and right versions too.

Are the handles metal? If yes you need to bare metal and etch primer, before top coat. If the are plastic you need flexi prime.

You will need a 2 pac aerosol. You may need a 2 pac primer as some primers arent suitable for 2 pac top coat.

Try Holmart for a complete set, probably cheaper than doing yourself.

That's a great deal. Paint alone would be close to $100.

I thought they looked a bit expensive
Here is a cheaper set
