Beauty Job, looks Great ! I am curious though, where the Handles removed or masked off in place?

I removed them. It was way easier to do it this way. The door panel has only 4 screws (philips head) and you have to unbolt the door handle (10mm)and pop out and unplug the window switches. the door panel will just pull up and off. The outside door handle is only held in with 2 10mm nuts. After they are off you can take off the plastic rod clips, that open the door, from the outside.

my buddies call it bass boat paint haha

as you can see, its about impossible to match the flake on the factory paint. I swear its like 50% flake. I did mine and they look close to yours, they match unless in bright light. In the bright light you can tell the flake being a little off

supposedly the factory can float the flake to the top. I dunno. I love the matched door handles, it really helps when waxing! I did all of my handles, the tailgate spoiler, mirrors, etc.
