Hi guys, when i had my car re-painted i had all the shadow lining removed and re-painted. is was a perfect factory finish match.

Now one of my door handles has been chipped some how :x so i bought another handle sprayed it in satin black and the finish has a higher level of gloss to it.

The guy who sprayed my car said he used aerosol based paint...satin black he said.

does anyone know of a specific brand that gives the correct finish.

Thanks

sam
