I bought some Dupli-Color Auto spray (Frost White) to paint match my door handles and mirrors. But Im alittle sketchy about the color of the paint and if i have the correct type for my car. Does anyone know if Dupli-Colors Frost White is the correct paint for a 93 frost white Honda civic. Autozone didn't know for sure but they only had a couple cans left so I bought them just to be safe.

Also can some one tell me the best way to do this such as:
1. should I primer the handles&mirrors first or just wet sand them and spray them?
2.should I add clear coat or none at all?

I've never painted anything myself on my cars I allways had a body shop do it but none of my other Hondas were a color you could buy in a spray can so any help would be helpful Thanks!

I wouldn't paint these parts but, since they are so small.....

how much could it possibly cost to have them painted by a body shop?!?!

just pay the dough and lose the headache

Thats what i would do, but that's just my .02 cents.

 

Why would you not paint these parts? If its to much trouble, I will send them out to be painted but how hard can it be to paint these small parts?

It's not that hard at all to actually paint them. BUT does the paint color match?? will the paint match the rest of the car, i.e. you don't want the mirrors and door handles brighter than the rest of the car do you??

let a body shop paint it with the correct paint and blend the colors with the rest of the car

 

 

I would not paint them with spray can , no matter if it matched or not .If your just looking to save money just take them off the car use some 320 dry or some 400 wet paper to sand , take them to a body shop and have them spray em. shouldnt cost much. then you dont have worry about it matching , paint flaking off or just looking like crap
