For the handles I bought new smooth ones on eBay for 18 bucks each and took them apart and had them painted. I did both doors and tailgate handle and bezel.
Are you looking to paint the plastic or the chrome on the bumpers?

If Ur gonna do it yourself prep is the most I'm important step. I use 3m prep woes from auto zone and dnt be afraid to use it.
Make sure you use the best primer you can,my buddies at the body shop said the used a flexable primer.I had the xm and on star done as well.I used the stock handles without problems

Where are you located in Kansas?
I got smooth handles from LMC truck in Lenexa and picked them up at the counter. Saved quite a bit on shipping. I think all 4 handles and tailgate were right at $100.
You can buy Tahoe/suburban door handles from the dealer that come already painted. I put them on my truck about 5 years ago and they look Brand new to this day. IMO smoothing them out and paying someone to paint them is a waste of time and money. Plus factory paint usually seems to hold up better.
Check out the pics in my garage. Same color truck but not on an 06 front. You get the idea though
Where would I find the handles from Tahoe/suburban. And i just want to paint the covers on bumper. I plan on going with a billet grill
I got mine from the dealer. The entire handles are body color Or you can get escalade handles which the back part is body color and the pull is chrome.
