Default Painted handles

I've seen where a lot of you guys have the painted door and tailgate handles. How should I go about doing that? Just take em off and get em painted or can I buy pre-painted ones?

Depends on the color of your truck. There are some that come painted, and others need to be painted.

You'd order Tahoe/Yukon handles. They have no texture and are available in black.

how many tenths do you gain when switching from the drag causing textured handles to the smoothy painted handles?

You can order the escalade handles on ebay, that come pre painted. Or I think there is a part number somewhere for the all black tahoe handles.
