Painted door handle buckets
« on: April 15, 2008, 06:45:01 PM »
I recently painted my door handle bucket overlays body color from previously being chrome. What do you guys think? Here are before and after pics.

Looks a million times better!  I love the chrome handles, but not the buckets...

You can have too much chrome, that looks sharp with just body color buckets. Nice job showing the contrast in styles.

No the handles are overlays also. I also painted the surround on the tailgate handle also.
