interior door handles

just a quick question. so like many people my interior door handles are begining to peel, as opposed to replacing them with another chrome covered piece of crap from gm i was looking into plasti dipping them, however i've never used plasti dip. SO what are some things to know if im going down this route. Does it just spray on like spray paint? will i need to spray clear over it?
any info will be helpful also where can i get plasti dip and does it come in more than one color? please and thank you for your help in advance.

Man I was lucky to get my replaced under warranty. Jump chrome finish.

If they come completely apart you could always have them wrapped.
