I have the black door and tailgate handles on my truck. I would absolutely prefer having them painted the same color as the body. It is a royal PITA to wipe on a good plastic product (Just Once) onto those handles without getting it on the paint. If they were painted, I could just wax them like the rest of the painted panels on the truck.

Now, I could use a water based product, like Adam's VRT on the plastic, but those products just wash right off if it rains or the next time I wash the truck. After it rains, those water based products leave streaks on the painted metal, another PITA to wipe off. I am still waiting for someone to come out with a good plastic dressing that lasts through a hard rain and is easy to apply. Not holding my breath though.
