I have a 2018 Silverado with 67k miles. I mostly like the truck, but the paint has worn off the door handles. Dealer of course said, we can send it to the body shop but it will cost alot. The paint is a white with clearcoat. Any ideas?

I have the same issue with my wife's Tahoe, haven't figured out an easy way to deal with it. The best fix would be remove it & paint it.

Looks up handle covers on Amazon specific to your truck and paint color.

While I like the white tape option, which I have, I am going to order some new handles in chrome, after the heat breaks.... I had no idea you could order them, I wonder why the dealer never told me.

Look up the replacement steps so you know what you're getting yourself into. On my Ram 1500 for example, you have to remove the inside door panel and window glass in order to get to the fasteners holding door handles.

On my Ram 1500 for example, you have to remove the inside door panel and window glass in order to get to the fasteners holding door handles. Pop out a grommet, loosen a non removable screw and take off the door handles. The only trick is getting the latch set right putting the new handle in, seems to call for a right angle pick which I do not have. On the 2017 the screw is actually a removable bolt which if you drop it then you get to watch the video on how to take the door off. Or if I am really lazy, I have a guy, but I want to try it. I am retired, time is not my enemy Just going to wait until its cooler.
