Default 2007 Fx2 color matched handles and mirrors

I have a 2007 Ford F-150 lariat in red fire metallic with chrome accents. I love the way the fx2 has color matched handles and mirrors. The chrome looks good to me but I am trying to move to all red and black. Is there somewhere I can buy these handles and mirrors? Please help me out. I've only been able to find all black replacements.

Why not paint what you have?

the handles and mirrors are chrome. Does that just pop off to reveal black?

They are chrome plastic, not chrome metal. Not sure if they pop off or not, but sand them a little, prime, paint and clear. Not really to hard. I am lucky, I have a FX2, so its all painted.

I'll look into doing it. I've just read that the metallic paint is hard to get right

I think you are correct. I have seem many trucks your shade of red/maroon/burgundy etc that rattle cans never seem to get quit right. Goodluck in your quest.
