Hi Stewman
If your H3 came with the Chrome package ( mirror, door handles, Mag, and fuel cover ) Door handles and mirrors are not capped the are chromed. To have them black im affraid that youll have to change the parts completely. Either as new parts from the dealer or as used part from a aftermatket or scrapyard. I dont think that there is black caps to put over the chrome ones. For the fuel cover, the GM doesnt sell a black one, but there are many aftermarket one, varying between 100 to 279$. I think that the cheapst solution for the fuel cap is to have it lightly sandblasted and repaint. I'm looking onto this solution myself for the fuel cover.
Hope that this help.

Thanks..I just ordered 5 new OEM handles...from the USA..25.00 a piece compared with 75.00/per canada....I am going to line-x my chrome pieces this summer...mirrors, grill and air intakes on the hood...I will most likely buy a fuel cap cover in black
