Rubberised seat handle

[Blocker]

I'm looking for some guidance or ideas on how or who can rubberise the seat handle (the one to slide the seat back and forward).

At first I thought powder coating would be right, but the originals is more like a rubber sheath that is heat shrunk onto the handle.

Any ideas?

If there is another method I would like to know.
If someone local in Adelaide can recommend people who do it that would be great.

Ring up a plastics place it comes in 1kg bags but for the life of me I can't remember what it is called but basically you heat up the part to a certain temperature and dip it into the powdered plastic. Pull it out of the powdered plastic and hit it again gently with a blow torch to get it to smooth out. Great stuff

I got the handle heat shrink wrapped, and not that wrapped. The end does not bond well and there are a number of bumps and bubbles.

Going to try plastic coat dipping to see if it's a better result. Thanks.

Here's a post from the past!

Seat adjustment handles come up great with a bit of powder coat dipping with a slight rubber feel.

Cleaned and brushed off the handles.

Powder coat dip, as good as new.
