door handle replace/paint?

I have a high gloss black trim, and so the entire trim is black but then the door handle is silver, which really bothers me.. So are there any options to fixing that? Is it easy to take out the door handle and paint it? Or may be just replace it with a high gloss black one if its offered anywhere? How many people would be interested in something like that if it was some what easy and cheap?

Are you sure the door handle is silver???

As far as I know, the door handle will match the paint color of your car. If your car is jet black, then your door handle witll be jet black.

I think the op is talking about the inside door handle. Check with some of the vendors here to see if there is an aftermarket piece but if there's not, painting might be the cheapest easiest option.

Yeah, I was confused at whether you were talking about the door handle itself or the inside of it. But I'm glad that you thought about painting it instead.
