Painting Door Handles

I painted my door handles black, and I couldn't get the door handles off at all without breaking something. So I just decided to tape them off and paint them

pull the door panel

unbolt the 10mm

you will then run into a clip

you can pull the door handle off and undo it with like needle nose or what ever. but when you get to this point you will be like omfg i didnt know it was this easy!

I'm going to respray my car. it's good to know the door handles come off this easy. I already removed the side trim with some forum help.
