Painted Door Buckets

Has anybody had the door handle buckets painted on their F150? I like the brushed aluminum ones AMI makes, but i'm not looking forward to a job like that, having to take the inner door panel off (I'm assuming this is how you do it). I'm thinking they would look good with truck colored paint and a nice aluminum handle replacement.

and why does every add on accessory have to be highly polished or chrome, what happened to good old polished aluminum? Not to flashy but spiffy when kept clean.

I'm not sure about the brand your looking at but the ones I have seen stick-on. I don't think you need to remove the handle to install them, but I'm not sure.

Seems we have the same taste. I, too, would like a painted bucket with brushed aluminum handle. However, the work and expensive leaves my desire just that: a desire.

If you find and easy way let all of us know.
