I can't tell how bad they are in the picture, but I was able to save mine with Mother's Back to Black and a 6 pack. It took a good two hours per side with beer breaks the first time I did it to get them looking new again. I did that in 2006 after I had the truck a couple years. Since then, I do it about twice a year and it only take s a few minutes to get them good again.

mine are past that point - shot - or 2 out of 4 of them - I'll try the mothers on the best 2 and let you know how that goes - it seems the drivers with the keypad is the worst on mine, followed by the passenger rear door - like I said they are beyond mothers... as they are blistered and almost like a blue primer is coming through from below, almost like that blue wrap that is there to protect chrome and brass was not removed then painted over. Kind of sucks - at minimum I am going to try to touch these up with some sanding and a spray bomb...

sand them down smooth, and then spray some krylon fusion on them, will look good as new!
