Re: paint on door handle
Yea, I love them too. I get more scratches from tree branches to worry
about paint peeling. However, when I looked at my door handle, there was paint over paint. Therefore - peeling. That's not a bad design, that's poor paint prep. So when it happened on the passengers side, I took all the paint off and re-painted it. It won't peel anymore.

Re: paint on door handle
The paint on both side mirrors and the hardtop hinges for my 2000 TJ and my sons 1998 TJ came of in chunks, no wear or tear involved. I think it's an issue with the paint over aluminum or the fact that the parts were painted & manufactured in Brazil. Either way I dis-assembled the mirrors, took them down to bare metal with a wire brush wheel on my grinder. Used a black spray primer and a black matte spray paint to re-do them and they turned out great. I did the same to hinges on hardtop using wire brush wheel and drill. So far they are holding up perfectly. Hope this helps.
