Surely any silver will do?

It's not as though you've gotta match panels or anything.

They're chromed aren't they?

Nah just a matt silver like, i was just wondering if theres any technique to geting it right or should i just give them a few coats if silver:S

Two or three coats and then laquer should do I'd imagine.

Think Justin-172 has done a guide to this somewhere.

Are these the door handles or the grab handles? :S

Door handles.

Like the title Haz.

I'll keep schtum.

The grab handles aren't even painted anyway lol. They're creamish plastic.

The door handles are painted silver. Well the handles to close the door are. The handles to open the door are metal iirc.

im spraying mine at the moment take your time because i put the laquer on too early so it has made me go another week without having them in the car. i had to sand it all down again and start from the beggining.

my method was sand them down a bit to get them smooth.
couple of coats of plasticote silver paint.
smooth with a brilo pad.
paint again a couple of coats then laquer.

i cant wait to get them in the car they look wicked!

I'm confused here (maybe it's the heat) I thought the OP was on about the plastic door bits where the electric window switches are ??

Then we went to chrome door pulls which you pull to get out of the car:S

^ You're the only person to mention "door pulls"

Correct, the door pulls are not silver on the Ph1
