Default Replacement handle cover paint options?

The handle cover tab broke on my 2020 Q7. I can find the part but they come just primerd. Are there anybody that sells them painted to factory colors?

I would try Ebay, but most likely there isn't an alternative to just buying the primed part, colormatched paint and clearcoat and doing it yourself or have a shop do it for you.

what color are you looking for. I replaced mine handles for black optic version and have silver laying in the garage. I have Satellite Silver Metalic LM7P code.

I have 4 full sets of handles in this color.

Doing it myself probably isn't cost effective and a shop can probably do it but adding at least a couple hundred to to total cost.

I'm curious what dealers do if a new vehicle has it break and they have to warranty it.

Dealers have either their own or affiliate body shop that would do it for them (at much lower cost than if you came calling, obviously). Audi sells primed parts for a reason - would not be cost effective for them to have them painted as they can't predict demand for any individual color.

The only place I've found that alows you to order the unprimed piece and specify the color is in the U.K. https://www.lllparts.co.uk/. I ordered a missing key cap and paid for the paint service. I will say my white replacement piece doesn't appear to have the metallic look like the rest of the handle so buyer beware. Too much hassle to send it back.

Just to jump in here, I've too been trying to find a replacement for my driver's door handle, also navara blue. I've found a few on eBay but none have actually been the right color - always a similar blue but not right.

An alternative is to find the matching vinyl wrap color -- I've been searching so long now though I've just given up and am eventually wrapping the whole car anyway soon....
