gar! went to halfrauds 2day to get some paint to do my doorhandles but they didnt have the right paint

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 live in south west wales! where men are men and sheep are afraid! aka no shops that do car stuff

Oh well I see boyo !

.....tip-ex ?

nah im savin the tip-ex for the vw logo on my steering wheel!

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...

or was it white you were after?
