Colour Codeing

[ms_scarlette]

Roughly how much does it cost to colour code door handles? and possibly the wing mirrors? im thinking of doing it, but only if the price is right!

do you know your colour code??its either on the inside of the hinge in the passengers door or on older models the passenger side strut top. Mine is blue nevis and is MOGN however if you contact these
care@paints4u.com still put your code you find down and tell them the make year n model and litre then your actually colour say blue!They will then sort it out to change the code because my code mogn is actually changed to EGN as halfords dont stock MOGN but the EGN match is exact after a coupple of coats and costs 10.99 for a spray can 500ml

hope this helps

i'm guessing you've not considered doing it yourself? i'm sure your car will have removeable wing mirrors covers, their not hard to paint, give em a light sanding, then primer them, leave it to dry for a while, and if its all nice and smooth then go ahead with the paint, give it a coat and leave for a few hours or over night then do another couple til its a nice finish then if its a mettallic colour give them a laquer.

just be gentle with the spray can, and do short gentle sprays rather than just hold it down.

door handle covers are a pain to get off and i have no idea how you do it. well i do, with a screw driver thn glue em back on.

hope that helps, failing that, go down the body shop with a nice short skirt and high heels on and flutter your eyelashes a bit ;)
