I have seen them first hand they look funny worn.

My body shop guy said something similar to this when I told him I wanted to paint the door handles.

Seems so many people have done this and I would be surprised that people would go ahead with this mod if that was truly the case.

I've read through threads on the subject and haven't seen many people stating they had a problem.

It's mid 2017 - has anyone who painted there door handles in the past had any issues and regret it ?

I did a DIY on painting the door handles a while back & haven't had any problems with them at all. If it is done correctly they will last.

You might want to check out my DIY here DIY: Door handles (disassemble, paint, reassemble & swap out)

If you would like to see some present day photos of the handles, let me know.

I am a few years into my handles being painted and they look like they did the day they were painted.
