Hope everyone is well and staying safe in these uncertain times. Our cars can hopefully occupy our brains till normalcy can resume.

In the meantime, I have spent too much time on ebay and come across a set of pre facelift style metal door handles. However, i'm not into chrome. It's more for the handle feel instead. Rather than remove the chrome plating to get a surface to paint on, i had thought i could vinyl wrap them instead.

Does anyone have much experience in vinyl wrapping for any tips. Does anyone have any recommendations for vinyl wrap brands that might be able to find a close match to 303 cosmo black. Either that i could maybe make them gloss black but not sure if this might jar along the lines of the car.

Dont need to remove chrome just scuff it up with sandpaper (180gt). Apply a couple of coats of etching primer and spray to match the car. IMHO wrapping is good in general but door handle are kinda high traffic so I supect the edges will peel.
