Blacking Out door handles

Does anyone know the best way to go about painting or whatever way to cover the chrome on the door handle? I am also wanting to but a driver side rear handle in the front to eleminate the key whole. Does anyone know of anyone that has done either one of these?

Black electrical tape. I've had this tape on for over a year and it still hasn't fatigued. No one knows it's not stock either.

Ha! That's interesting about the electrical tape. It certainly looks good from 10 feet away, as shown in the pic, but what does it look like up close?

on the key hole part, you can get a new driver side rear passenger door handel and instale it on youre front door.
