Painted door handles/ tailgate handle???
Does Ford offer the painted handles as accessories? They look good and I want to add them to my Blue Flame scab. Also the mirror caps, it would be nice to buy them already painted so it would match better.

only comes from factory if you ordered the FX4 luxury package. A local paint shop can paint them but I've been told its a pain because the plastic parts are all textured and require a ton of sanding.

Chrome caps
Another option is to buy the chrome covers. I got them from Autozone and they were cheap. All 5 cost $35. These are just for the handles. They look good. I can post a pict later.

Im a painter and know that raw plastic like the door handles and mirror caps are a pain to get paint to stick to. Also the texture on them would be a b!t*h to get out. I've seen in the 04-08 they offer pre painted ones, just thought that they may have the same for the new trucks.
