I have chrome covered mirrors and door handles. What is the easiest/best way to get them black? Paint? vinyl? Thanks.

Remove the chrome cap from the mirror, handles not as simple. Wrap, plasti dip, or i think they run about 50/pc to replace.

I replaced the black plastic door handles on my 1500 with color matched door handles for just a hair over $200.

Is it possible to take the chrome covers off and paint them black, then put them back on? How are they held on, double sided tape?

You may not need to paint them after removing. I believe the chrome covers go over the black plastic covers, so once you remove the chrome you might have black covers?
If this is not accurate maybe there is a way to paint the chrome while still on the mirror? Plastidip?

I figures it was just the textured black plastic under the caps. Haven't actually removed mine to see. But I know they're just caps, cause you can purchase them seperately.
