I had them painted last week on my 370Z roadster. I'll post pics soon. I personally would not do self-painting as I've seen too many cars at shows that are only a few years old and there is some cracking and chipping on self-made spray paint no matter how good of a job you did.

A body very good shop will do the handles for $150.00 if you bring them the handles and they don't have labor to take them apart and install them.

My body shop wet sanded them, primed them, used 3 coats of great quality paint and then clear coat them. They look exactly like factory paint and the paint won't chip.

If it were $500.00 to have them professionally painted I would say go do it yourself but for $150.00 please don't do it if you think you will keep the car longer than 3 years or I promise you will regret it.
