What did you do about the plastic handle?
Thats what I want to know lol. I'm going to be redoing mine so I can make them smoother and protect them better this time.

This picture is from before I finished riveting the bumpet caps back on. I drilled out the factory rivets to remove the caps for paint. Also had the backup sensors painted. They were going crazy at first, but now they work fine. I guess the computer got adjusted to them.

i guess im used to the old way of doing plastic work. I believe my painter finished it off by smoothing it with the stuff you guys were talking about.
as for cost, I paid $450 cash to have the tonneau, bumper caps, sensors (taken apart and each piece painted individually), and new factory GM camera tailgate handle bezel for my Boyo rearview cam. I did not paint the actual handle, figured it would get scratched too much.
