Was bored Friday night so I went to buy some paint and started painting my door handles and trim. Not a bad job for $40 worth.

Here are the pics I took on my phone.
Masking was not fun...took the longest

Looks good. I always want to get the the painting. but proper prep work pays off in the end.
What did you paint with?

 

Yea does look good I would probably be too scared to do that and would wonder about long term results

 

I used dupli-color, and they had one last TB can so I just grabbed it and painted my door handles and surprisingly matched 100%.

I was scared to do it too but then I was like ima do it sooner or later so why not just do it. Masking was an pain in the *** took 80% of the time.

 

Looks really good man. What did you do to prep them?

 

needs some gloss imo

 

Agreed. It would look better in gloss.

 

Im not really a big fan of gloss black, my grille n emblem are flat black so everything flows.

 

looks good man! i'd like to black out my trim but i'd have to remove my tint first...would be just way to much black, i photoshopped the preview :P

 

One day I'm going to get up enough courage to do this

 

looks good, I hope the paint holds up. I painted my grille with duplicolor and it chipped to holy hell. I had to redo it with aerosol plasti dip. Doubt you will get any chipping on the window trim though. Thanks for posting.

 

challenge accepted lol

 

Yeaaaaah boi! ^ How'd it come out?

 

they came out good i did it a couple months ago and the paint is still holding on

 

What did you use, or how did you do it? How does it look compared to a day or two after you did it?
Is it "holding up" or look great?
Thanks.
