Re-coating peeling door handles

Post by rs6mick » Thu Nov 24, 2011 11:56 am

Hi people I know we all get annoyed will those door handles when the rubber coating starts to peel off and then starts to look scruffy well I think I have found a fix there's a product called Plastidip which can be found here www.plastidip.co.uk which is basically the rubber coating but in an aerosol can you need to strip all the old stuff off first and then just mask up around the handle apply 3-4 even coats leave to dry and problem solved hope this helps
