Ew, Gross! Keep'em black.
I recently saw a thread about an innocent blue mica fd and the door handles were painted as well. It looked okay on that car, but you should see for yourself and make a decision from that.

Someone on here has a Grey FD w/ C-West kit. He painted his door handles too. Didn't look too bad.
I'd go w/ repainting it black though. Or get the carbon fiber handles. = P~~~

I've seen it done on silver cars, and it looks great. However, I don't think it would look too good in other colors. I'd have to see it, but I personally would keep it black.

At any rate, they never sent the bumper and my credit card never got charged. Oh well, i guess i will just keep the RE front for a while longer.

IMO, it depends on the color of the car. The CYM FD looks great, but the VR FD doesn't look as good with them painted (no offense Satan, I'm also a VR owner!

I had mine done at repaint: Montego Blue.
Looks good, but I would only do it on the dark colors MB or Black.
I agree that it doesn't look quite right on the lighter colors.
So I suppose my vote is Yes if Dark, no if not.
- Before painting, mine were tired & scratched, which may be another item of consideration.
