you forgot to finish the story

forget halfrauds. get the paint code and get a few cans made up from a car paint company.

It wouldn't be the right colour anyway even if they did have it...main dealer's the best bet although a bodyshop would be better to have an exact match...or you'll have bright white handles, nice

i dont mean to sound stupid (but i prob will) but can you just use the normal spray paint to do the handles or is their a special type tha wont scrape off easily with the constant use ? i was thinkin along the lines of the cans of spray paint they got in halfords but just wondering if this is advisable, as i can see them coming of every couple of months for a respray.

^^ Well as long as you prime it before spraying & then go over it with laquer i think it should be fine...
