Every door handle I've seen isn't covered, so I don't know what you mean. You could cover it with vinyl I guess but it will probably look like ass. Paint it with interior paint that would look the best, you do mean the inside door handle right?

You can do it right over the old stuff depending on the condition of the old material. If its all torn up then take it off, you'll have to refoam it though if you take the old material off. Use 3M super adhesive, it comes in a spray can, its expensive though, about 15 dollars a can. But if you use it like it says too, that stuff works like a champ
