Coming from me working in a vinyl shop. DO not put chrome vinyl on anything but windows. Chrome vinyl only lasts for a year.. 2 years max. When they start to peel off, it'll just flake into 1 million, 1mm pieces. Your best bet will be to get some handles and get them chrome dipped, if you want durabilty. If you want to look good for a month or two.. then vinyl it.

Also I got stock handles laying around if you want to buy them for cheap. I'm just telling ya the truth. I don't want you go through the hassle, bro.

Just pull the Handles & take them to a Chromer.

I know of a company that can chrome finish any product (plastic, metal, whatever)... with a process called water transfer printing. i think the site is watertransferpringing.com, but i could be wrong.
