    Default Exterior Door Handle Paint Color

    Does anyone happen to know the paint color and finish on the exterior door handles for an 86 GT? Pint color is black. Since mine are worn I can’t completely tell. Am thinking about having them refinished in the spring.

    Essentially a Semi-gloss/Satin finish. I would say more Semi-gloss, but definitely not gloss or flat.

    Thanks Trey, would you happen to know the color for when I have to pass along the info to the shop?

    Black, just basic black.

    Same for the wiper arms, lock cylinders, and the antennae.

    Many body shops might consider it a trim/bumper type of color and sheen. That can help with the overall sheen too, especially if shot in a single stage urethane. Good Luck!

    Thank you, the good news is that the doors themselves weren’t touched ��
