Default Plasti dip interior door handles
Not sure if anyone has reported this - but i was plasti dipping my carrera emblem and started eyeing my door handles. Doubt they will last but it looks good now.

Has anyone tried dipping their rear center console (from the shifter to the storage bin)?

Hey... looks very cool! I just plastic dip mine as well, along with other stuff including the gauge! I'll post some photos soon.

What color is yours? I did my steering wheel trim to red but I think this color would work even better.

Cheers.

I would think on the door handles, the dip would get peeled off.

Looks good. Did you also do the door spears?

Did you take the door apart or tape it off to use the plastidip?

For $8 it is worth a shot. The best thing is that if it does start to peel, just peel the rest and you are left with factory finish.
