Door Handles Chrome vs Painted
My 2012 LS is Obsidian Black with Chrome door handles. I hate all the chrome on the side of the car. I would love if the door handles were same as the body color. Has anyone had their chrome door handles painted to match body color, is it possible to have them replaced with newer ones already black, gray, white, etc.

I'd try a 3m vinyl wrap...as to not damage the chrome for resale. plus the handles see a lot of wear..it would be easy to chip or scratch paint.. the wrap should cost a lot less. also handles can be wrapped on the car.
if your set on a painted look, check into powder coating.. that will be much more durable

You could also look at buying a set of painted handles off of an 2IS. They're already painted and they should be the same handles.
