Title: mk4 door grabs
Post by: godsANGER on 22 March 2010, 00:45

oks i was sorting my window problem and had my door apart i noticed that my grab handles were in a . . Well fubar'd condition so thought would give them a quick refurb.
Going to spray them matt black till i get my carbon rap.

Sanded down the passenger side got rid of that rubber off it, which was a right pain to get off and now its primed.

My question is Can you get a clear none shine lacquer as my clear lacquer still gives my mat black paint a shine, really want a flat matt black for the inside.

Thanks

Nice and black, can still see 1 or 2 or the really deep nocks its had but looks a hell of a lot better then before.

Change off plan!  :laugh:

taking all the paint of the handles just going to sand down till smooth then putting loads of black to black/bumper black to blacken it up,
The outer bits I am going to just do the same, then there ready for the carbon raping when I get round to buying it.

Done it to the passenger side handles look nice re fitting tomorrow think ill do all of them tomorrow and refit. Gives a very nice matt black look
