on another note
have any tips on masking/painting door handles - maybe pics?
I don't really want to remove them

alright this is an old project picture to use as my example:
the black arrows is what i was talking about with your masking. Notice i am using masking place closest to the paint and then plastic after it to cover the areas not being painted. This is to prevent wet paint from being sprayed onto the plastic sheeting. When the wet coat is sprayed onto plastic and drys it flakes off. The paper keeps this from happening. The white arrows is where i masked with paper the areas that i knew was going to get a lot of paint applied. The red arrow is where i was in a hurry and just threw some plastic over the wheels. Some of the base coat overspray flaked off when i was clear coating and caused a good bit of sanding and buffing for me. Hope this helps
this is the only picture i can find with door handles being masked, most of the time i pull them out. Mask it tightly and then trim with a razor
