Why would they chip, if the bodyshop did a good job? Many cars have painted door handles stock, and they don't chip. As long as the surface was well-prepped, it should be close to factory quality.

thanks for the pics, it looks so much better, did they have to remove the handles to get the proper coverage and was it a specific paint for plastic?

Looks really good! I agree that it only works on certain colors, and yours is one that works.

ehh looks ok but im a big fan of the aluminum color that comes stock. I would have left it but thats just my thoughts. If you like it all the better though.

Looks good. I doubt it will hold up to wear, but nothing a repaint cant fix.
