mine are screwed inat the "o-****" handles...really easy to remove. As far as dying or painting, I do not see why it would be an issue

paintin em would be easy...use some 400 grit sand paper and go over em real quick to knock down some fo the texture, then clean em up with ammonia or somethin like that, then a plastic prep cleaner (or vinyl prep) then an adhesion promoter, after that use a filler primer and sand it after every coat of primer...throw down your base and then a couple 4 or 5 coats of clear and wet sand if need be....PM me if you have any questions

krylon fusion for plastics seems to work well. Painted something in my wife's charger seeing if we could get it to match the factory panels. Hate that they have the top half of the door panel black and the bottom half tan so we got the Krylon stuff and it painted and covered it great, was just a little to much shine for it to match the factory stuff. I've heard from others it works well.

don't know about the wearability of it honestly...it's supposed to work on arm rests and the one piece I did paint appears that it will last pretty well. If it did wear off after a while I would guess it could be touched up. You could try to find just those OS pieces in the color you want and paint everything else.

Hey Scott06hemi... How well did the color match when you used the Fusion paint. MY girlfriends charger has the same ugly 2 tone color door panels and we want to make them all black. I've used Fusion on my Camaro and it worked great but I used Grey. Does the balck look ok and if you have pics can you post them. Thanks in advance.
