I took it to a body and paint shop. Not sure how they did it but it was $350 to do the handles and rear spoiler in gloss black. Killer deal if you ask me.

It is smaller than the original good badge so it left an outline where the old one used to be but it was easily buffed out. It definitely fits and is very easy to install. I really love it.

That's a great look. Well done.
i particularly like the way the door handles look in all black. I was going to try to just blackout the chrome trim only, but all black pulls look damn good.

I appreciate that, I thought about only doing the chrome as well but am happy i went with all black. I did leave the sensor square on the handle white. I wasn't sure if painting it would affect functionality.
