painting door handle covers

has anyone removed the door handle covers to colour code them? I'm aware that there are stick on covers available but I'm not keen on them. I have the 2 piece handles, so the covers pull off. I was going to sand, plastic prime, top coat and lacquer them. Has anyone already done this and can share their results?

I did mine and achieved great results in fact I did the black pack on everything on mine so long as you don’t rush and prep the surface properly you can’t tell the difference but I would advise buying three new small portions as the retaining clips break off when you pull them off

Thanks for the reply! I have heard about the broken clips. I might just get a few new ones and spray them and see how they turn out before doing all of the handles.

Email dan at duckworths and he can send you pre primed ones so all you do is put on the finishing coat think it cost me like £25 for the three but hinestly so long as you prep and prime properly you’ll be fine Thumbs Up and don’t rush
