    looking for some help on door handles...I have the chromes that came on it..I ordered some then figured out that they're just covers with 3m..do these hold up well? Could I prep and paint the chrome ones that are on there now? Or best to just order the right ones?

    If you want color matched I think it's best to just order 'em from @Roman. You'll find it extremely difficult to get good paint adhesion to chrome. You can strip the chrome off but it's super tedious and time consuming.
     
    Roman and joonbug like this.

    You can always leave your oem chrome ones in pail of bleach. This will strip the chrome off leaving bare plastic. Then use a plastic adhesion promoter primer. Then color match paint accordingly.
