the handles, mirrors, and flares were painted for $250 total. The paint is pealing off the handles and flares so next week im taking it into a shop and having them paint some flares and lt handles i bought. The reason why the paint comes off so easily is the texture being painted is just so tough to have retain paint for so long. I bought the smooth lariat flares and lt handles, so there should be no problem having the paint stay on them.

ya i know. im just waiting for the lt handles to get in so i can take it up to the paint shop. i should have the flares and handles done by thursday, depending when the handles get in. i figured id install them myself and save some money. I know theres a write-up on here, but does anyone have any tips that arent mentioned in there?
