well...it depends how many coats of paint you want to do....i put 3 coats of color on all of the ones i do.....not sure really how much i used cause i just keep using them untill they gone on different jobs and what not......but if i remember right from when i did my own handles, it took like 1 1/2 cans...but i bought my paint right from the dealer so that way it was an exact match
if your gonna do the grille too....i'd say 3 cans would be suffice

the cans of paint from the dealer without any discount are like $9 each....i could prolly get a discount if i call a couple of my buddies up at Chrysler.....ummm lol....man they easy to do, but i can do em for ya if you really want me to......normally i been chargin people about $100 to do theirs(local body shop wants $350 to do them).....but i could prolly do yours for like 50....pretty sure i got enough stuff here to do em
but just so you know, it's gonna take a little time....prep work and **** like that, prolly lookin at labout a week or so before you get em back once I get em

just a week? hell, I just might sign myself up. Might be worth it. Ive been wanting to go a little different route though. Ive been wanting to paint the body of the handle silver like my truck, then make the actual handle where you grab chrome. Almost like some of those GM's you see runnin around...
