Door handles

Sorry for the noob question, searched around the forums and couldn't find an answer.

My '01 LX sedan has black door handles, I think it would look cleaner if I had ones that matched the body...is this an EX upgrade? Or something that I can pull off an Accord?

Re: Door handles

Is there a clean way to paint them? Or is it best to just get EX ones?

Re: Door handles

you could get it painted at a body shop, but it would cost more than buying them painted.

Do you know how troublesome they'd be to DIY?

Re: Door handles

I believe you can spray paint yours. I have seen someone done that on his older Camry. Use masking tapes to cover up the entire side to prevent overspraying. IMO, swapping door handles from an EX would be the easiest and best match.
