Default to paint or not to paint

car is going to the paint shop, some say the handles will chip after being painted, some say different, please give me you opinion. the car is a 92 dx, so it has those black door handles and moldings...

you have to seal it first so that the paint sticks better

Sometimes that works and doesn't work... The best way to put on decals is to put them on after the BC and then CC over them.. but if your going to do that please test the CC to see if it will react to the decal...
