| Removing door handle covers for painting |
|
I am wanting to paint my door handles.as they have discoloured slightly and I want to do them black. From what I understand the covers just clip off leaving the main body of the handle behind but what about the fixed rear part of the handle? Does that unclip the same?
Has anyone successfully done this or am I better just buying a set of new black covers?  Previous Discos

Powerful UK has replacements and I think a vid showing R/R. May be easier in the long run if any break when removing. The finish may come out better also depending on how the painting process goes. PAGODA

Thanks Pagoda. I have had a look on their site but can only see the handles with button in handle (keyless entry type) mine are plain with no button Previous Discos
