Well its actually a good idea Breadfan, you could Plasti-Dip them jeff to see if the black color would work with the look you're after.

If it does, peel off the Plasti-goop and paint them up proper for a permanent mod.

Because until I stop at the bank in the morning I've only got $2 in my wallet.

What are your going rates for ideas anyway, and is there some sort of discount for bad ideas?

The going rate for bad ideas would seem to be a closed thread or a deleted post. Fortunately, I seem to have exhausted all my bad ideas in my younger days and am left with only good ones.

I just did my chrome handles with plasti dip. Was nice because I didn't even have to remove them from the wagon. They turned out nice but I don't think they last more than a few months. It you want something permanent...take your time, sand them down, throw a coat of primer on and paint them. The black handles really looks good though!
