I'm thinking of doing all the plastics body colour to match. Like all cars. I'd do it properly preparing plastics etc. What's wrong with painting handles?

I see what you mean now. wouldn't paint a door in the house without taking the handle off would you. Unless you're my mum I suppose.

I was wondering how your van was coming on, other than welding what does it need for it's MOT?
