I have seen them first hand they look funny worn.

Maybe the handle wasnt prepped properly. Just about every single car has painted door handles. They dont have a problem

I'm guessing you went to an automotive paint shop to do it... How long were they off the car? Did they paint the non exposed areas as well or will there be silver showing if you open the handle?

I bought brand new handles from FBnissan, and had them painted there at the dealer before shipping. There are not any areas that are still silver. EVERYTHING was sprayed.

This is an ancient post but your nissan dealer was able to paint your door handles there? How much did that run you for the pair?
