i want to colour code my door handles and door strips but don't know how to go about it. do i take them off? or just use masking tape n newspaper to cover the door etc? do they need rubbing down and priming first?
Any advice would be appreciated!

Wow fair enough my mistake - i didnt realize you could just paint them when they're attached. I guess i learn something new every day lol. Just be careful about your choice of colour m8 - cars fade over time so if you get its original factory colour it might look weird (my m8s done this on a flame read corsa and it looks so obvious and sh*t). Just a word of warning thats all
