r56 black door handles
Could someone give me some advice on how to black out the door handles and the backing too, or maybe point me in the direction of an exsisting thread? thank you!

I agree... plasti dip is fine for everything else except the door handles. Mine have been peeling for some time. Ill prolly end up getting some from vinyl styles or something.
