Painted to Chrome door handles?

[Sonnie]

Has anyone swapped painted for chrome door handles?

I'm assuming it would be fairly easy since the handles seem to come off easily enough. Since I am having my truck wrapped in the Stealth matte PPF, I don't think I want to wrap the door handles. Those seem to be more difficult to get wrapped right and require relief cuts. If I'm not wrapping them, I'd rather they be Chrome to match my front grille and the chrome strip on the lower portion of the side. It's almost as if they should have been chrome to begin with.

Yes, others have. It's very simple: buy chrome door handles, remove old ones, install new ones. Info here on swapping them:

If you've seen the original thread on adding passive entry, HERE, you are likely well aware of the issues with getting it to work on the newer trucks that didn’t come with it from the factory. This thread will walk you through getting it to work on the 5th gen DT’s (and the HD trucks) just as it...

Hmmm... that doesn't look simple to me. I might just try the Trim Illusion chrome snap-on covers first... lol.
