$60 EACH???!!!
You say don't want to go through the pain in the *** of sanding. Have a BODY SHOP do it.
I only paid $225 to have mine painted. This includes taking them off/on the truck. So for less than what you can even purchase the handles for I had mine painted and they look the same.
Plus I had my mirrors down for another $150.
Seems silly to go out and buy those handles for that price and they're not even painted when you can just have someone paint the ones you have for less.

lol Again, have a shop do it. I didn't sand one thing on mine. They did it all. Remove, sand, paint, re-install for $225 total. All 5 handles.
As for getting around I can't help you there. I did drop my truck off for a few days but I had a lot of things painted.

Ill probably go the same route, minus the sanding (forgive my lazyness here lately)
and have all my stuff painted at once. Most of mine though, at least as far as I know, ill be able to drop off and pick up then put on myself.

I've just seen so many threads where people want to buy the PTM ones and spend twice as much money without looking into painting the ones they already have first. If you can't get reasonable prices then that's just but at least look around first.
