probably yes but the handles that i have i don't think have a paintable base...someone was telling me the handle that is suppose to be painted has a smoother base

for handles, your better off buying pre painted, cause handles are used alot and touched alot, you wouldn't want paint peeling b/c of a DIY job , mouldings are a different story

but if you want i think the handles can be done DIY but IMO I wouldnt do it

IMO, I would just buy the OEM handles, they take most abuse with the hands, keys and etc.

when i got my car painted (92 hatch) my painter painted overtop the handles as well. I havent had any problems with them, they still look great . Im guessing uits the clearcoat overtop that makes it not come off at all

the thing about a non paintable surface is b.s.
all u have to do is sand it down really nicely adn then paint it.

well, not even, sometimes you're best off not even sanding it (speaking from experience).... just de-wax and de-silicone it and use SEM's plastic prep and adhesion promoter. anyways, yeah, the dealer does sell them, and I encourage you to buy them already painted.
