if you want a good job done youll have to remove your door panels and remove the door handle, scuff it with a 3m red scuff pad or completly sand off the chrome if you have a DA sander clean the access dirt with solvent degreaser and prime it with grey self etching primer and find your paint code on the side off your door it should say it where your vin sticker is. hope this is helpful
