advice on handles

[watkinsbravo]

my bravo handles are perishing very badly so i am about to go and get some marea ones.
could some one please tell me whats the best way to prepare them to colour code them.

same way you would with any exterior plastics i would of thought?
give them a good clean, then wet and dry paper to get any silcone coating etc off as it will stop paint sticking to it.
then I suggest you use bodyline 2k primer/mixed paint/laquer, get it from brown brothers if you have 1 locally. use all the same brand as some paints seem to react badly to others.
then when painting, usual rules apply.
good luck dude!

Marea ELX/HLX handles come ready primed. Just give them a light sand to key the surface, clean them with panel wipe and away you go.
