   i dont think it would look too bad. put some black insulation tape over the handles and keep it on a few days and see what it looks like

   i thought about this but in white to go with my white mirrors, wheels, roof (tomorrow) but i think it will be overkill. Like said above insulation tape is your best bet

   btw the handles are riveted on and to get them off requires stripping a lot of the door down
   might be better masking the car up and spraying them whilst fitted

    if u do mask up the car up and paint the handles on the car, remember u wil have to spray the little side that appears when u pull the handle
