Default Best paint for door handles?

Ok. I want to remove my five door handles (4 doors plus tailgate). I want to paint them white (I think...) to match my paint, or some other color like red or blue to stand out. What is the best paint to use as I have no idea. Maybe an enamel base with a clear laquer for protection? Help would be greatly appreciated.

Or should I get chrome door handles? I have no idea what would look better. Please post with advice!! Now!

And I don't mean the chrome covers that attach to the stock door handles with 3M tape, I mean solid abs plastic that's been chrome plated to last forever. I think it would look good with chrome handles, but blue ones would look sick on a white Blazer.

Keep it body color or don't do it at all. Anything else and you will look like some stupid kid that felt like 'looking' different.

allright painting ur handles here's what u need to use dupli color paint products u can find what ur lookin for as far as paint at autozone or any parts store that sells paint dupli color makes an awesome plastic paint that has everything all in one so when ur done with your project it will leave you with a smile on your face a tip for you though if u decide to do blue dark or light to get the black handles to show the true color get a can of primer preferebly a light color like white or grey then sand smoth then paint with whatever color you want again its dupli color they have really good stuff to choose from
