I used plastidip on the handle and surround, rustoleum painters touch semi gloss on the speaker grille.

I did the speaker grill last month. For sure it makes the door card flow better.

I'm pretty pleased. Definitely learned a few to do's and not to do's next go round. For instance those little door handle panel things are going to be an even bigger PITA to get out because I didn't pick the plastidip out of the holes it clips into and I had to do a bit of touch up plastidip after I was too careless reinstalling.

The pillars of course were easier and I found I didn't need a perfectly straight cut on the edge with the window seal because it can be squeezed underneath for a seamless look.

I was considering something along the lines of these, they are pre-formed peel and stick variety.
