Just had a front end respray to tidy up a few scratches / stone chips at my mates (he's really good and cheap too )

While my car was there, I asked him to paint a set of rear door handles, which he did, but he ran out of paint, and only gave them 2 coats

The handles look mint, and the colour match is 100%

Are they ok to fit as they are or is the paint a little thin? Should I take them back and ask him to put a few more coats on them?

id give them another few layer as they can scratch easily due to them being touched all the time, what colour is that by the way

if you use rattle cans from halfrods then you need to laquer all colours as they use crap cellulose paint in them.

when i first got my car it had some accident damage, sprayed the door with cellulose and didnt laquer it, you look at it now compared to the bumpers and bootlid i have sprayed with 2 pac and it looks so dull and out of place, gotta redo it with decent paiont this time.
