Question about our door handles...

Well... i have the chrome door handles and basically they look like crap IMO and dont really flow well with the car,...

I would like to have body paint matching handles (sterling mist KT3) ..

so the questions are,.. where can i find these?,... would it be worth it to paint myself?...and are they hard to uninstall/re-install....

thanks. . . .
