    Looking for suggestions in swapping out my chrome handles. I've looked into painting, wrapping and swapping. Everything seems expensive and complicated. I'm really only looking to replace the chrome parts of the handle. Thoughts?

    Try Putco. They have all sorts of chrome stick on parts.

    I think he's looking to remove chrome not add on more. I've seen someone vinyl wrap their chrome bumper caps with magnetic grey and the color matched very well.

    Yeah, vinyl is definitely an option. I'll get a quote today. I'd probably just want to black it out.

    It just seems that dipping would wear off quick since it's a handle.

    Very Nice. This is something I may look into. I'm guessing I'd have a to pay several hundred dollars to get them painted. All in I'll probably be around $800 including the handles.

    I didn't notice they could do other colors. Thank you very much. I just sent them an email to see if they could do matte black. If not, I'll have them do magnetic gray.

    Anyone just done vinyl in the chrome part of the handle in black or able to paint match it?

    OEM handle swap out is big $$$

    Just looking for options.
