Door handle to match tesla gray

[ReyRoc]

I’m interested in getting the color of the door handles to match with my new 2022 model y (gray). I’d like them to visually blend into the car opposed to stand out in their stock black tone. I’d wrap them but can’t seem to find that gray. I’m wondering if anyone has already accomplished this? Thx

i don't think you can wrap the handle due to the tight tolerances/gaps.

I've seen the Model 3 chrome delete kits, which have some type of vinyl application that goes on top of the chrome door handles (I don't know if it wraps around the edges). The one kit I saw recently is by NikolaPro, and it looks like they have different door handle colors including MSM. I have no idea if they have anything specific to Model Y. I'm guessing the door handles are the same between 3 and Y...

This is probably as close as you're gonna get:

I have these in red multicoat and it wraps just barely around the edges of the handle so that it doesn't look like you just put stickers on them. The color isn't a perfect match for my color, but it's close enough and looks better than black. I'm with you, I dislike the black door handles and wish Tesla matched them to each paint color.

I think the black door handle is the best looking for Red tesla.

Great option. Thanx

I guess, you have the 'Full Wrap, not the 'Standard Wrap'?

Yes that's correct. Although "Full Wrap" just means it wraps around the edges to appear it's fully wrapped when handle is in the closed door position.

Ended up getting the Custom Cut Graphics standard wraps off Amazon. These do not wrap around the edges since I didn't think I'd be able to do it perfectly and it would drive me crazy. I also figured with the blue on black, it would be pretty hard to see that it isn't fully wrapped - I was correct. The blue 3M film is not a perfect match to DBM, but it's close enough for me. Pretty happy with the way it looks.

Could you please take a picture of your red door handle covering. I’ve got a red one and would like to see what it looks like

You can wrap the door handle, mine matched the matte film applied to the door handle also.

I meant the actual wrap around the edges of the handle all the way around.

You're going to struggle to get a wrap to match MSM paint IMO. I tried a custom mix of Plastikote on mine for a while, but it didn't look right even with a gloss top coat and the feel of it each time I opened the door also put me off, so in the end I got them painted.
