A little while back I broke both my door handles (within the same week!). Recently picked up two new ones from E-bay. However, the color of them is flat black, and I want them gloss black (like OEM). Can anyone tell me what kind of paint the professionals use for something like this?
Need a CAD model or drawing? I can help, E-mail me at paseclipse@yahoo.com for more info.

I went to Autozone and got a 5oz can to match my paint job - just look up the make/model/year of your vehicle.
I also applied a coat of glossy clear coat at the end ti make it shiny and match the current shine on the car. 5oz can cost $3.99
Don't you hate those stupid plastic door handles - I wished thay made some aftermarkets one that will not break. I saw those handles on Ebay - Way too much - I got mine from a dealer for $40.00 shipped (It came already painted but in White though). Someone here mention his name to me and I ordered it from him and mention I was with 2GNT and got a discount.
