I painted mine over the weekend. Came out even better than the standards ones.

Used plastic paint from Halfords in grey can. Very good stuff.

It will only wear off again otherwise! and worked out a lot cheaper.

Same problem here. Bought new ones and thought about painting them but I am still wondering will the paint stay on it? The handle’s soft surface is the problem and they don’t look cool at all when the paint starts to chip. Have seen few ones.

Yeah totally agree. Though the paint i bought was very specific for plastic interior. It wasnt like normal paint more of a powder type material. As well as sanding the surface down and preparing it properly it went on really well.
It was a balck finish as well so matches the original perfectally

Have to wait till the summer and see if its still on.

mine did this, i used thinners to rub all the laccer type stuff off, then i sanded them down, primered, sprayed gloss black, then laccered again with spray laccer, they now fine touch wood!
