Door handles
Does anyone know how easy it is to remove the chrome part of the M5 door handle?
I'm looking to coat or paint them black in the UK. I see it's pretty easy to remove the door handle assembly. Thanks Mat

Wrap or plastidip is easiest. No need to remove and risk breaking something.

I don't see these listed on the IND site anymore.
Also, with the core program, I assume that I am now getting someone else's used handles that were originally painted another color. Will that show if someone takes a paint meter to the handles? Will that affect the quality, durability of the paint?

Mat - How did you do it in the end?.
Did you also say that you bought another set of side grilles to get them painted by your mate?. Don't suppose you want to sell your spare set? |

Yeah I have the originals to collect tomorrow along with the exhaust, trim and front grilles. Was going to paint them and ebay them, but open to offers. I did the handles myself - took the chrome strips off using a trim tool, wrapped them in gloss black and then put them back on. It's not that hard to do. Cheers Mat

Yea I would do this if they did - the thought of taking my handles entirely off just annoys me. Can you not buy just the chrome trim maybe??

I wonder if the issue is that the paint may not have enough elasticity, whereas a wrapped chrome trim has enough elasticity. You can see he is bending the trim while removing it above.

I posted this question in another thread but did no get a response. Assuming I do the IND core replacement program, I assume that what I get in exchnage for my door handles are the door handles of a previous customer that have been repainted. is that not correct? If so, would that affect paint quality or durability? It should show if someone took a paint meter to the handles, but it unlikely anyone would do that I guess.
Wrapping isn't really an option for me since I woudl like them to be Space Grey and not black.

You are giving credit for more ambition than I have at the moment!

Wrap. Works perfectly. No need to remove the strips. I've had mine for over a year now without a single issue
