You can spray anything mate if your preparations good

The door handle especially i gave it a quick sand down with a 800 i think so it's all nice and smooth so the primer can stick to it. Once your happy with it,getting all edges and little bits chuck a layer of primer on and leave it for say 15 mins with a heater. Then rub down again with some wet and dry (1200) so its smooth again but it only takes a little bit of primer off then spray it again so its covered properly. The primer needs to be good for the paint to stick too.Then repeat this and spray the colour you want and let it dry and finally lacquer it to protect it.

Hope this helps mate

They aren't bad tbh. Just chop off one of the pins and you have to work out how to screw it in. You might need different screws. Mine JUST stays in with the original screws
