I've had mine painted for 3 years now and no chips or anything.

 

would look good

 

SS cap


I even left the inserts in the gate for the original big black ugly 1...cant tell

 

IMO, I would do all the handles, paint the whole mirror and put chrome caps on, and get a Truck Masters tailgate cap. You can get the tailgate cap at Stylin' for under $50 and they look similar to your stock one, just smooth. I had one on my Sierra and loved it. That's half the price of an SS one.

 

I also like the painted stock mirrors. The handles are all over Ebay in your color

 

Looks sharp.

Not to be too picky... but is the mirror a darker shade than the truck?

 

No, just the lighting in that pic. They match perfectly.
