Looking to colour code my door handles and fuel cap, what technique are you
Guys going for? Paint, wrap, dip, carbon?

Cheers

Easiest would be plastidip spray. If you don't like it it's very easy to remove and try a different colour too

As above plasti dip, also peels straight off if you don't like it

There's a guy that does carbon covers for things like that. I've got them on mine, they look brilliant and last.

Only downside is the cost over the alternatives.

Paint results in the best mirror finish and is cheap if you DIY. Carbon dipping looks very nice and has reasonable cost. Wrap is fairly cheap but sometimes difficult to apply. Carbon covers look the part but they are covers so sit on top of existing parts. Personally I prefer using carbon to reduce weight not add it.

So how do you go about doing this?

If you're just looking at doing the cap and the handles you should just be able to buy a couple of cans of the spray paint off eBay or 'Matt-Pack'.

I would recommend buying a can of the paint and a can of 'Glossifier' to give it a shinier finish.

Literally just cleans and degrease the area and then spray it on, you will probably need 5-6 layers of the colour to give full coverage and then a couple of the gloss. If you dont like it, you can just peel it off like rubber and try a different colour.

If you get any on the paint work it'll just peel straight off

Look in civinfo traders section for a guy called pimp my civic. He does all the carbon goodies.
Hope this helps
