    Yellowed door handle?

    So the door handles on the interior of my car (natur) are far more yellow than the door cards or the rest of the interior. Any ideas on how to make this match the rest of the interior a bit better?

    Assuming you have tried cleaning them, paint is really the only option. Or replace them with a better set, or go two-tone and get black ones.

      i'd reccomend picking up some black handles and map pockets from a scrap yard and doing that.

          ^ True, Magic Eraser or something like that maybe.

              I used that on my yellowed handles, all it did was remove the dirt. The handles have to be redyed.

                I was considering that, but was concerned that it might remove the texture on the handle.
