ok i will. i initially used engine aluminum but it came out kinda gray and did not match the aluminum door handle. so i stumbled across a dupli color volkswagon oem aluminum which i figured was like porsche. did a test and it was perfect match. so now I'm in process of repainting the door pieces again. I'm going with a metallic black for the center parts, since i did not want the black buttons to stand out with the brushed aluminum. i will take pics when everything is done. might take a couple weeks.

everyone was right, patience with sanding/priming and letting the coats dry well. but its rewarding doing it yourself.
