Paint em black or keep chrome?

OK so im trying to decide If i should keep my door handles chrome or paint them black. If I go with black should i go with flat or gloss? My badges are flat.

 

I say paint em black the door handels on any vehicle look better when painted body color, plus they dont stand out like chrome does.

 

mine are painted flat black. i like it alot!

 

Flat black. That's what mine are, from the factory too I think. Looks very nice.

You could bedline them too... never lose a grip!

 

I would go with flat to match your badges.

 

^ x2

 

take some electrical tape, and put it over it... This way you can see what it will look like from a few paces back.. Then if you like it, remove the tape (obviously) then paint it!..

I like mine chrome, but i have shiny ol' wheels. Your truck would look good with the black handles

What was Toyota thinking when they put chrome handles on your truck!

 

i wish i could tell you

 

The same thing they were thinking when they put two chrome and one black on mine

 

to paraphrase Mark Twain: I'm amazed at how much smarter they became by the time they released the 02 model.

 

i still have both front and rear chrome bumpers

 

ya i think your right. if i go black ill just order some. thanks

 

You could just leave the black tape on them.
