I actually had a body shop do it along with a few other bits I needed painted.

So I live in a fairly small city, and I know the manager of my dealer's body shop. I like the way this looks so I asked him about it. $600 apparently... guess I'll get another couple of quotes.

What chrome is he talking about?

Paint will last just fine on the OEM handles - as long as they are prepped and painted properly. I'm thinking you're probably better off going somewhere else anyway.

Yes sir, I think you're right. Truth told, the more I think about it, I might just do it myself with them on the car. I figure a little scuffing paste and a red Scotch Brite pad, hit it with an adhesion promoter and it should stick just fine.
