The chrome on my pass door handle is bubbling up. Was wondering if anyone did a how to on wrapping them in cf or anything like that.

 

don't think i've seen one and ive seen just about everything.

 

New ones are 15 with free shipping with Prime on amazon

 

The cheap ass chrome tape on both of the handles on my Cobalt when I had it peeled off

 

15 bucks... Very tempting.

 

i'd just go that route. i can't see a little curvy piece like that being easy to wrap and you can paint it but that's up to you haha.

 

I've thought about plastidipping mine as they've peeled as well.. I've never had the willpower to rip the handle off. Been too lazy.

 

Amazon.com: cobalt door handles


Painting them sucks because even with tons of prep, it is like that plastic doesnt like to hold paint on it.

 

Even with a good plastic primer on there?

 

I figure it would have been a lot of heat and a lot of stretching to get it right. And it still wouldn't be right

 

I did the face of the handle with CF its really tuff to get everything else with it because of all the curves it has. unless you paint the back portion and just CF the face like it did. Maybe taking the handle apart would help wrap it. Its not to hard I had to replace just the handle on mine since it was broken on the inside and the bezel is painted to match the trim. I wish I had the car I did the CF on but I dont lol

 

If I tried to wrap it I would have to take it apart. It's the only way

 

My friend wrapped hers in carbon fiber.

 

ended up getting one of amazon and it is perfect also very cheap

 

Mines still intact

 

Ok?

 

Some guy replaced his door handles with straps like you'd see in a Porsche lol

 

That would have been cool looking. Especially if you use the tow strap style with color matching stuff

 

I have a set of handles and I've thought the same. You might get them apart, but I don't know how easy it will be to put them back together.

 

I thought that you had to take the whole door assembly off to replace them, and was too lazy to do it!
Mine are peeling so bad the 'chrome' on them has cut me a couple of times. I have a new weekend project now!

 

The panel isn't too hard to remove

 

You can change them without taking the panel off. You need needle nose to pull the cable tight.

 

The door panels are laughably easy to take off, 2 screws under the cup thing, 1 behind the door pull, lift the cup/switches out and giv'r a pull.

 

Yea, but they are cheaply made and three pieces of plastic welded pieces.
I take them off for nothing because after a couple times they tend to start falling apart.
