DIY: Door handles (disassemble, paint, reassemble & swap out)

Is the disassembly really necessary? The only parts I disassembled for paint were the door request button and lock cylinder. All else should be easily paintable while assembled.

It probably isn't really necessary, but the area under the movable part of the handle would be hard to paint if not taken apart. When you open the door there would be some silver visible I believe. This way it will be all uniform.
