I think the answer is yes but before I go butchering the job could someone take a look at the photo and confirm?

Cheers Dave.

Opinions on colours welcome.

I replaced mine with new original about 5yrs ago and they need doing again from memory someone took theirs of and refurbished them might be an option?

Yeap, I'll probably try to do them on the car, its a bit of a faff but maybe simpler.

Don’t think they are that hard to get off there must be a wiki on here

The plastic covers are quite easy to get off, especially if you use plastic car trim tools, so you do not damage the paintwork. Then use a product called 'Sticky stuff remover' to get rid of all the old adhesive.
I have Zermat silver covers to match the paint colour on mine, not as good as re-painting the handles, but a lot easier

Yes, very likely the most effective use of time. I think I’ll try to re-paint the handles though and taking them off is the cleanest way to go I guess. I’m thinking of trying cerakote rather than normal rattle can paint but I’ll have to research the ability to be used on plastics (assuming they are not alloy??)
