I saw pics of cars with black door handles and other chrome trim in black and was wondering what the best way to do this. I think powder coat my be to thick for the door handles, and dont knoe if paint will stick good to chrome.

From what I understand, disassemble it completely then scotch brite pad to scuff it.

I would think powder coat would be more durable however after any number of key unlocks, jamming the key into the cylinder might chip off some coat or paint.

This summer I'm going black satin on all my chrome except bumpers, I'd like to see how yours turns out.

Why don't you cover them with black vinyl like the stuff used for sign lettering.

Easy, cheap and can be removed

Cover them in platsty dip. Works great and peals right off if you do not want it anymore.

I have had a lot of help and made what I consider good friends on this site, and have not delt with any unpleasant poeple. Yes I am a dumb old redneck that loves working on cars. I am sorry if my spelling and grammer is offensive to anybody, school was my worst subject. To busy chasing electical grimlens on my triumph, playing sports and chasing girls to get a proper education like Yall. I know its all in good fun but U don't have to be mean.

Sorry bud, I didn't intend for it to be mean. I work with a group of people who get paid to produce high quality documents and I just get frustrated at the number of people in my office who can't spell or punctuate a sentence correctly. When I get home and jump on the forum, it's a little too easy to vent my frustrations. I realize most of us probably realize we typed something wrong, but we're content to just leave it. I guess that's just the way it's going to go.

For what it's worth, I'm a dumb redneck too, at least at heart! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
