Sanded it all down to remove orange peel effect .
Grey primer , couple of coats.
Sanded down primer .
Sprayed on flame red - about three coats .

You don't need to laquer flame red paint , the match I have is quiet good

There are the two bolts holding the plastic handle , onto the metal section ...

There is one I can't remove , nearest to the door opening .

How did you do it ?

i had this problem. if for instance you've got a 97 onward model, a pre 97 will not fit! there some heavty plastic in the way. in the end i've got a set of handles broken on my floor and ended up spraying my current ones. couldn't use the car for two days while spraying.

pull off some of the plastic sheet that lines the door and look for a hole infront of that bolt
