Got my new PTM Handles on *Pics
 

Well I got a guy on another forum to get his buddy to paint my handles to match the paint. Well they came out great, and I put them together. I hit a few snags putting them back together.

I've always wanted the look of the FX4 Luxury package, PTM Mirror Caps could be next

Here they are. Tell me what ya think.

Looks GREAT! Im getting my mirror caps painted next week....definitely a good mod!

Looks much better. :thumbsup:
What's up with your center caps?

Thanks guys!

My buddy that I got the wheels from lost the center caps :lol:

^^ Sounds like a discount if I ever heard one. :lol:

looks great man! :rocker: About how much does this cost? if u mind me asking. Just an estimate. I think i want to do mine also

Wait... you can paint over a textured plastic finish?

You have to sand down the texture to get it smooth first....then paint it.

Or you can buy the PTM handles, or do like I did and buy the MarkLT handles that are pre-painted (but those have the chrome handle pull)
Click HERE and find the color you want! Most two handle setups are under $300


my MarkLT handles for reference:

Yes. When you sand it down smooth, adhere proper, prime, paint, and clear.

Like said above he had to smooth them down to paint them. I paid roughly $175 to get them painted (included shipping). Tasca wanted ~$95 a handle already painted.

You could do the chrome covers and PTM them but I don't like the look of them. You can tell they are stick on when you see them in person. It's a lot less work though

Thanks Guys

i like it. you had problems with those in channel visors and the window regulators?

Ese color se ve muy bien.

Very nice Jeff! I love the direction you are heading with the truck :D

The driver one is sticky on certain days but that's usually after harsh frosty nights (which is rare in my part of SC) I love them though. With the hot summers we have here they are very necessary. The previous owner had the ones that mounted on the pillars and I thought they were hideous and they left the 3m foam tape which left a nasty residue on the pillars

Gracias, Senor!

Thanks man! Funds are very limited right now, so a little at a time. Tires are soon I need them bad!

Looks good!
