Default what not to do to your door handles

this corvette also had a lil overspray on the edge of the door handles and why im not really sure because yes yellow was not its factory color but it is painted yellow under the door handles as well. but ya anyhow i tried to clean them up and to make a long story short ended up making them much worse.seems it wasnt overspray at all, it was edge wear of the black paint over the yellow. guess the handles were yellow at one time.

and so yes more pictures...

solution: just pull them off, strip them down, prep them and powdercoat them, just did these tonight. what do you think

stripped and ready for powder


powdercoated card black, seems a match for original color and semi-mate finish

Wow that looks nice. I think you should make them yellow again or keep them silver just put some clear coat over it. Looks very nice though.
