Just use Krylon fusion. I painted all of my door handles, bed guards, bumper pads, and factory running boards. It took me a couple of hours and 1 & a 1/2 cans. It looks very professional and the paints holds up great on the running boards.

That Fusion is the new stuff made just for plastics. It's supposed to be pretty good stuff if you prep and apply properly.

Good Luck!

TAC53 can you post pics of your door handles, I was going to buy the factory painted handles but if this paint works well I will try that first.

Thanks

Look for a Super Duty XLT Sport in the wrecking yards. They came with painted door handles.

Only way to get rid of the texture is to sand it smooth, I sanded mine smooth and painted them. I sanded them with 220 grit sandpaper.

I didn't paint mine to match. I repainted them black. The bed rails are a greyish color from the factory and I did them in black also to go with the black tool box. The only thing I did for prep was wipe it down with a damp rag and again with a dry rag. The Krylon fusion is awesome. It's about $4-5 a can. If I can find my camera I will take some pic's. It made the truck look new again.

I called Ford a few months ago when I was thinking of replacing the handles, if I remember correctly I think it was $65 each. I'm pretty sure all the Harley models have the black painted door handles.
