Cheap ebay plug - I have the full set of handles up there a ton cheaper
than you'll find them anywhere if anyone is interested

As far as the painting, as long as they are prepped correctly, you will
have no problems with the paint holding up. 3+ years on mine with no
problems at all.

Question about painting handles..... I've been told that it won't hold
up
very well. My favorite paint guy showed me by pulling on the door handle
and
it flexed enough for the handle pull to hit the bezel. He seams to think
that
it will mess the paint up in no time. I know it has been done as I've
seen
pic in magazines but does it hold up? Any first hand painted handle
experience on the list?
