Chrome to black door handle question

what is the best way to change my handles to black from chrome? it seems like just painting over the chrome might not look that great. thanks

I went getto and covered mine with black vinyl. Everyone thinks I painted them until they examine them extreamly closely.

professionally done... meaning having a body shop paint them? How much does that cost? Can they do the edging around the windows too?

Yes, body shop. Sorry, I had so much done that I can't give you a price. Yes, I had my window trim done too. You're best bet is to try to find someone who has/wants the opposite of you and trade. That's what I did with my fake wood interior pieces. I wanted black. Saved me a lot of money. Good luck.
