Thanks y'all.. I used regular car spray paint.. Duplicolor....I also used a clearcoat.. the match was absolutely perfect to the color of my car.. I painted the handles while they were on the car, just masked everything off and painted underneath, the sides, front, etc. No streaks or anything.. About the Mirrors.. Well.. I gave it some thought and decided that the black mirrors looked better in this case.
