any way to paint exterior chrome door handles/molding?

Hey I was just wondering if anyone has done this, like if I took it to a body shop or knows if its possible to paint the outer Chrome door handles and door moldings. My max is a GXE and I want to paint them the same color as my car like the SE. Thanks alot

I recently covered up my chrome trip with some black out tape from Autozone. It cost ~$5 and 1 roll will do 1 side of the car. It looks awesome from a distance but you can see where the seams are when you get close. It would be almost flawless if I had chosen better seam placement. I also have a test section where I just used electrical tape to see if it works as well. I highly recommend you trying this as it is cheap, easy, and you can always rip the tape off if you don't like it.
