well i wanted to give this a shot so i ran down to napa and picked up the stuff i needed. T299 color match spray paint, tape, sand paper and news paper.< cheapest part lol



the tailgate was a snap very little prep turned out great



and done



Now the door handles were a different story they were a pain in the butt they kept bubbling up on me i dont know why maybe cause i had put tire shine on them a week or so ago but in any case PREP IS KEY that is somthing we all know but sometimes lack on. anyways heres some pics







to me it seems like there a hair darker. there are a couple bad spots but i still have to clear coat them and wet sand so that should take care of it

in the end it cost 15 bones and took about 2.5 to 3hrs because of dry time
not bad for a parking lot job and a rattle can

 

Are those the original handles with the grain texture?

Looks good!

 

thanks, yes there oem i think that is part of why they cause me trouble i painted them once and sanded it all back off and sanded a lot of that grain out it would have gone better if i had heavy paper and i did that to start with

 

Looks really good man, nice job.

 

Don't know how you got in the recessed area without runs on the handle. Maybe you taped off the handle for painting the bucket. Looks very good to me.

 

Looks very good!! Want to come do mine?? LOL I was just thinking of doing this over the weekend but I did not as the chrome handles are still on mine and I did not take them off

 

i thought that the bucket would be hard but it worked i did at least 10 coats really light coats.

 

looks good thought about trying it on the mirrors ? you can be the guinnea on that also ha ha

 

I think it came out pretty well - looks good!

 

They came out very nice!

 

They came out perfect looking from these pics? Is the color dead on or a slight bit lighter.

 

Looks great. Nice work!

 

looks great ,

i wonder if there is a clear you can put on to truly match the paint or would that have to be done by a body shop ?

 

Good work Devil Dog

 

I probably would have taken them off but nevertheless good job
