Add painted door handles on lower trims (easy DIY mod)

So I have always regretted not getting the luxury lariat package as it had a little more convenience features as well as painted handles and mirrors, so after a little bit of digging, I found a cost effective solution without having to dismantle the door to paint the handles.
I bought these on Amazon and then bought matching atlas blue can of automotive spray paint, four coats of that two coats clear, and I think it came out perfect All for under thirty bucks.. Next comes the mirror caps

That’s one of the downsides of having an Alto Blue Lariat. It’s hard to see the painted door handles and mirrors. They look black along with the whole truck.

Your “rattle can” job looks OEM - nice!

I have body color handles but want black. I’ve looked at those covers you bought - but worried they will cover the lock/unlock “bumps” on the top of the OEM handles.
