I decided to do the grille and beauty bar to match, but leave the door handles and mirror frame, chrome. But I think it might be. Chrome is no my friend. I bought Stiglitz because the price was right. I almost got a 2lt panel, but the price was just JUST outside the price range I was aiming for with a co-signer for the right price per month $$.

grille & BB will require much more prep.

Find a powder coater in your area, check with your local harley dealer, yellow pages, or even this site.

But understand you will also have to remove the tire to have them done, then have the tire put back on and rebalanced.

Dude, you need to rethink that. I honestly think it wont look right with door handles and mirror caps the only thing chrome. Either color match/black out all of it!!

Didnt I just say something last night about YOU doing the research, and not asking anyone else or is that too hard for you to do? GO to the DEALER and ask them if they have SPRAY CAN TOUCH UP PAINT!!! That will then tell you how much it will cost to do it!!! Its not that hard opf thing to figure out.

Lol Dustin, the dealership is closed. It's Saturday. And it never hurts to ask a question to see if someone knows..

I can't remember the exact cost, but I do know that I have seen the door hanle covers and mirror frames on EBay for a pretty good price. I think the handle covers were for about thirty bucks. Pretty sure you can ask the seller and they might paint them for you if they don't have them already in your desired color

Well, 1151.... think about this for a second.

If Black Granite metallic is the only black for 2011 (according to Chevy's website, it is) And they make the LS available in that black, then there would have to be door handles, rear beauty bar and mirrors in Black Granite because the LS color matches those parts.
