You looking to paint your handles Shuv? I'm thinking about plastidipping mine, that way if it goes wrong I can just peel it off.

Well Sean - i somewhat "fancy" Black bullets........perhaps.

And if i do that; the only external parts left in Silver will be: Door handles, exhaust trims and brake calipers.

Whilst calipers are extremely easy to do and some carbon exhaust trims could be crafted on im sure.......the handles - being used on a daily basis want to ideally be a pretty hardy finish IMO. Whilst of course looking good.

Hence i wondered what the standard 'finish' / material was...........

I think plastidip is 'quite' hard wearing given that people use it on wheels. I agree re the handle colour, I fancy carbon bullets but leaving the handles silver would look strange.

I reckon hydrodipped carbon fibre handles would look good and would go with carbon bullets
