Nice looking truck--seeing all these new trucks makes me wanna go out and get one, but I've still got 2 years to pay on mine. I'm looking at trading up jobs, so if I get that and pay off Big Grey early, maybe I'll be able to afford that FX2 or 4 SuperCrew that has my attention

I think I'll do Sterling Grey, when I do--my DSG truck still looks good to me after all these years.

Take your current ones off, sand them very well with any numerous grits to eliminate all texture, and take them to the dealer's body shop and have them done. Works if you have another vehicle, or another set of handles. I did this with my '04 which was Dark Toreador Red, and my '07 which is Black. With OEM Ford paint and clear, it will last and will not look darker than the rest of the body. It is a good little bit of labor, and cussing, on the removal. Install it is masking every corner as to not scratch anything anywhere, but I would rather do it this way than buy new handles, have a difficult time selling old ones, and the savings in money was unreal. Granted the dealership bodyshop manager cuts me great deals, I paid $85 for the Toreador red work, and only $75 for the black truck which involved painting all 5 handles with masked chrome grab handles, 1 grill surround, and an entire front bumper. Being as you work for a dealership I am sure you could see similar discounts.

Here are some images, linked so click to view, as to maintain respect for your thread to remain on topic and not crowded with other photos .
