personally... i'm a big fan of having the car sprayed, or buying replacements.

touch up paint, unless you buy it on the internet in spraypaint form, would be useless for this...

have you tried takin it to a shop? Theres some shops in st pete that would do that for cheap. Is it custom paint or regular?

Its stock the door handle isnt painted though it like a rhino liner type material.

getting it to stick to stuff like doorhandles, plastic bumpers, etc... is a pain. it sticks for a while, but if it gets chipped say goodbye. it needs to be prepped properly by sanding and using the right primer to paint it. what kind of vehicle do you have? there might be a painted factory one that came on a different model that is available.

you can definitly find a painted on for that truck. it will last so much longer, and you will probably spend the same amount in the long run as if you were to take your handles down and have them painted, because if you do it yourself i guarantee it wont last long at all.
