Color Match Exterior Door Handles

robjs111 · Nov 17, 2013

Anybody know where you can find color match exterior door handles for 99 and up super duty's? I currently have the black style and would like to match door handles with exterior paint?
Thanks.

I got mine from rockauto.com. They feel like a little lower quality than OEM, but they look exactly the same which is all I cared about.

Oh you wanted them painted and everything, not just primered? If that's the case G Racing on here was doing it for awhile. Maybe shoot him a pm

Yeah didn't know you wanted them already painted. I did them myself and they turned out pretty good. If you want it professionally done I was being quoted around $150

I bought the cheap ones off rock auto. They lasted about a year and started falling apart. First cold day we got I pulled on my handle and the studs pulled out of the back of it. This happened on 3 of them last winter all on different days. I ended up taking my textured ones and sanding them smooth with some 220 grit and priming and painting them.

I've had mine over a year now and no problems.

For my tailgate handle I tried to cheap-out and sand it instead of buying a smooth one and it just doesn't look the same

I got the rockauto ones that are Dorman brand. Junk, just broke one and the other is flopping.

My advice is go OEM for sure. I bought two different sets of aftermarket brand handles, I don't remember the brands off the top of my head but neither had enough clearance in the handle for paint. Even bare they would wipe the dust off the inside of the handle when pulling it open. Ran one set on my truck for 1.5 weeks just to get me by and one of the handles broke in that short amount of time.
