Well, I Need Some Help. I Am Wanting To Take My Door Handles Paint Them. Has Anyone Found An Easy To Do This. I Got My Tailgate Handle Off Real Easy, But I Can't Seem To Get The Doors. Is It Easier If You Take The Door Panel Off On The Inside??? Any Information Would Be Good.

You have to take the door panel off, and the little black circle thing on the door. I think its all 7mm and 10mm stuff. I'll search and see what I find. I watched my Escalade handles get put on by the shop that did my tailgate and roll pan etc...

Jsmith has a writeup on his website, check it out.

Yes you have to take the inner panels off. There' 3 10mm nuts holding the handle on.
Also check out the sticky parts Thread. It has just about every door handle prepainted part # on there if you decide against painting the stock texured ones.
I bought onxy Black door handles at the dealer for around $55 pair.

Its not hard at all. The previous posts have pretty much summed up what is involved. Watch out for some sharp plastic while reaching inside the door to take off the nuts. I cut my hand all to hell not knowing there was some sharp areas up there so be careful.
