Here's my 2004. Think I should paint my mirrors and door handles? and if so what color?

^ Yes and body color. Do just the mirror caps for the mirrors though.

Painting them in the two-tone tan color might look cool. I probably wouldn't if it were my truck, but it would be something different.

Definitely do it. I vote fully paint the mirrors to match the green. Love how mine look on black, seen a stone green truc before and that looked great. Seen red fire metallic painted with chrome mirror caps even, never go wrong with paint match.

I've been considering green caps and glossy on the rest including the door handles. Thoughts on that?

I think the regular black plastic matches the rest of the plastic on the truck better. It won't look bad, but the black will stand out, if that makes sense. For the door handles, it's your call again. The higher trim levels have paint matched handles, so that's part of why I like them. Because your truck is dark green, there isn't as much contrast with the black, so I'd just paint them green. I like how my white looks with them paint matched.

But it's your truck, so do what you feel you'll like! The world would be boring if trucks all looked how I wanted them to haha.

Me and Darren have differing views on painting the whole mirrors I like it on his black truck, but not so much on colors haha. I like the OEM look.

Here is the stone green truck I was talking of. Sometimes, fully PTM looks alright.

Glossy on the rest? Are you talking about not painting the plastic, just clear coating it? That will look ok, a matte black type finish. But as Kmac said, the rest of the truck plastics will clash with it. As you can see here from my 2004, they screwed up and clear coated the entire cover. I had planned to take the mirror assemblies in for full clear coating to resolve it, but I traded in for my 2007 before it ever happened. I just kept up on the plastic trim dressing and it was pretty well disguised.
