did you use a bed liner on the door handles? Did you use a clear coat?

If I did mine I would want it to look exactly like the rest of the paint. All smooth and such.

 

damn thats a shiney azz truck. You dont blind ppl in the day from the sunlight???

 

yeah you gotta love that black when its clean!! it has a whole lot more shine than any other paint. mine is the exact same way

 

needs tow mirrors to complete it ..looks shinny

 

i painted my zx7 recently black and it turned out nowheres near as good as that i don't think and am in the middle of wet sanding my bumpers to paint em black too. howd you get yours so damn good?

 

i didnt sand the handles much... it was way too much work and you cant see any blemishes in the paint when theyre rough..

i know i need tow mirrors but havent found the right price yet... got quoted 325 from a buddy at the dealer... thats cost plus 10%

jay- I would like those pics! some day we are going to redo the whole thing and would like some ideas... problem is, we get ice here... when it goes out it pulls everything, and the ground pushes on it too... something you probably dont have to deal with in FL... cheapbeater55@yahoo.com thanks bud!

 

LOOKS AWESOME!!!! Gotta represent WI!!

 

truck looks great! simply stunning. love the cleanliness!! thumbs up brother!

 

Did you have to take the handles completely apart to paint them? Or did you just take them off the truck in one piece and then paint?

I've been wanting to paint the bumper insert and handles for a while, and I think you just convinced me to! Nice Job!

 

I was wondering the same thing, but i quickly noticed the keyhol had some tape marks. That leads me to believe he did them on the truck as-is and taped them off. OP, No??? Or do the locks stay with the handles when you pulled them?

I LOOOOVE the handles and painted trim. That is the NEXT mod on my list. It seems all my plastic pieces are fading super fast and there are some of them that have wax all dried up on them. Mainly the wiper cowl. I knew I shouldn't have let my cousin wax my ride. i guess you get what you pay for. I gave him $10 to do the whole truck...lol I had to school him before I let him do anything...haha
I was thinking of using bumper trim paint. it leaves a soft matte black(satin) look to it. Taping off seems like a PIA and I think I may actually pop the door panels off and take them off because I want to install JimmyJammers at the same time.

Hood looks sweet BTW.
