Ok guys really quick question. I just painted the door handle holder part silver for the interior. ( for the 08's it comes silver now stock) question should I clearcoat it or keep it just painted? Please let me know asap

 

i have my "waterfall" painted and never used clear and after 8+ months i don't have a single scratch or mark on it. so i think clear is not needed.

 

got a pic of it currently? id say no clear or maybe 1 to match the waterfall.

 

I'd say clear it, and if you don't want it to shine, get the flat clearcoat... the door handle will see more exposure than your waterfall and will need a little protection from the weather and the fingers.

 

If you clear it, it wont match.

 

Depends on your prep work. If you properly prepped, then you shouldn't need a clear.
I 'cleared' mine because I painted my Bezel and 'Sail' pieces, so I wanted them all to match...

(Didn't mean to thread-jack.)
I have since taken the paint off. I chipped one when I did my speaker install.
trdsparks.com couldn't get me the 'o8 handles.

 

i contacted TRDSparks.com and they said about $20/each side for the 08 handles. This was probally 3 months ago.

 

Bastards!!

Ken told me 'no-go' back in Jan.

 

I was told it was 25 a side from trdsparks but it doesn't matter now anywayz its pretty smooth and looks good ill post pics tomorrow
