Is there any manufacturer that makes already painted door handles? I need black/ebony and do not want chrome.

Is the only option to remove, sand and paint?

Thanks again in advance...

 

yup pretty much it. or you can buy primed handles from tascaparts.com and get em painted, no need to sand and prime

 

Buy a set of either pre-smoothed and primed, or another OEM set and take parts in for paint. I just did this and the results are superb.

part numbers plus the tail gate (208) for the smooth ones.

 

No matter what you get they are gonna need sanded.Sanding is what gives the paint something to adhere to. I'd use a grey Scotch-brite pad on a plastic door handle then go straight to the base coat. No sealer or primer. Also I don't think you can paint over fake chrome.
