Are you wanting to paint them permanently? Why not plasti dip them? Quick and easy and it peels right off if you don't like it. Lots of color options. Its the new "Thing"!

my mirrors and door handles are chrome and im looking to colour match them.. does anyone have any tips?

Yeah... have a few beers on hand and be ready for a fight when you start taking those door handles off. I've read several posts saying they're a pain in the ass.

Plastic on truck are not easy to paint, and not durable.

But I tried this paint ( Fusion for Plastic® - | Krylon) on my fender flare on my chevy colorado and on my gmc sierra upper bumper and the paint hold until I sold the trucks ( 2 for the chevy and 1 for the gmc ) The paint look not shiny as the oem paint, but look really good. The paint is very durable and really easy to paint ( just clean and paint , no primer, no sand paper ) I planned to do the same thing on my upper bumper on my sxt this summer.
