Anyone color matched their door handle and mirror covers?

Has anyone has color matched their door handle and mirror covers to their T? If so, how did you go about doing so? Any pics would be appreciated. Thanks.

I plan on doing this next spring as well as the door and tailgate emblems. Here's a PM I got from a fellow member when I asked him on his process:

"Sand with 320 grit and prime, sand with 800 and paint 3 coats, sand with 1500 and clear 3 coats. I used all duplicolor spray paints. Primer is the key to doing this. I had to redo it after a couple of months bc I didn't use primer."

Hope this helps.

Good to know. What did you use to paint your pieces, or did it vary by the piece? Sick truck by the way.

Only on my car.... I think it came out ok... :dunno:

Oh... wait... come to think of it, I did do the cowl and mudflaps on the T as well.... and yeah, you gotta sand the bejeezus out of them to get all the plastic stippling off them to make them smooth.

This was only the first sanding step for the flaps...

Again... I think they came out ok...
