Hey all wanted to let anyone know that's thinking of color matching their chrome trim pieces that touch up direct worked amazing. Just doing my handles, mirror caps, and side emblems. I bought a knock off set of chrome covers just to see if it matched and turned out insane good. Now I will rip my oem pieces off and do them.

I bought a cheap set of stick on ones to test before I pulled my factory ones off. Added $25 to the project but wanted to make sure they matched and boy they look great. I am going to do my oem ones this week now. I thought about just throwing the stick on ones on the truck but they don't line up perfect at all. The factory ones pop off real easy

[quote=Jointasset]where did you get the door handles? Is there a noticeable difference between them and the ones on the truck? Asking bc I want to buy a set and send to retrocustomz to paint without having to be without my factory covers while the work is done(3 weeks).
I got them from autoanything, they don't cover enough for me. The chrome from the stock ones is very noticeable from the top and front side. Here's a pic with them off. Everyone's different but it wouldn't be to bad for a couple weeks while your were getting done. Attachment 268270

I don't think three guys is "everybody". Besides, it's a free country...well, until the Woke Taliban comes after you, so you can like or not like chrome.
