Ok Black Barbie(MyCar) is almost done with exterior and I want to make the handles black. I dont want to plasti dip as I think after time it may rub off------any advice or experience in this is more then welcome. So I was thinking about getting them powdecoated, just buy some replacements, get them done then switch them out BUT how easy is it to switch them out? Then I was thinking bout buying the covers and have them coated or whatever, BUT I have no experience in the covers at all.........................so any help would be appreciated.

 

It would probably be cheaper to vinyl wrap them.

 

Vinyl wrap will last 5-7 years or so.
You can have them painted.

Powder coat won't work on plastic handles because of the baking process.

 

Theyre really easy to replace also. You can pop the interior door cover. There is a bolt and nissan clip behind the door grip, another behind the handle, then one under the door locks. Lift off, disconnect the bottom light, 2 door lock clips, led clip and memory seat clip and then the handles themselves are on 3 small screws. Takes about 10 mins to do if that. From there you have free access to the handle and lock.

 

Thanks man

 

Oh crapola i see now that you're talking about the exterior handles. Just disregard everything i just said. There is another thread in here that talks about removing the exterior handles
