Title: Exterior Chrome Question
Post by: mrghostwalker on August 28, 2020, 11:51:32 am

Does anyone make black replacements for the exterior door handles and other chrome for the K10/20s ?

Thanks for looking. I found those too- they seem to be the only ones out there. I'm surprised that they aren't more common.
Are the handles on the CUCV's painted too?

You can strip the chrome ones too. That's what I did on one of my trucks but they weren't selling painted ones at the time. Save the aggravation unless it's a beater and you have extra handles kicking around.

I was thinking about stripping the chrome. What process did you use?
 chemical or physical?
