Paint Peeling/Chipping on Door Handles of 2006 Silver

I have this same issue with the passenger door handles, probably because of the way its parked the majority of the time, I havent decided what I am going to do about it yet.

 

Mine too, and it's an '08. Cracked and chipping on the tops of the rear door handles. Front door handles, exposed to the elements in the same manner, show no signs of problems. Classic silver. I also see some abraded paint at the bottom of the rear fender skirt on the drivers side. That may have resulted from a fender bump with the previous owner. Probably won't do anything about it. My rear spoiler is oxidizing, which is discussed in another thread. The fix for that is removal, sanding, and repainting. Probably the same for the door handles.

 

On an eight-year old car, there is no way that any auto manufacturer is going to help you with a paint issue. If this happened during the 3 year warranty period, maybe you might get some help.

 

Not much you can do but repaint them. All it takes is a rock chip and moisture gets underneath and makes a mess of things. You'd think with all of the chemicals we have now that there would be a better solution for how the paint adheres to plastic. Only time will tell.
