Do these need to be painted before I install them?

These arrive unpainted — you'll want to match your vehicle's color before installation. Sand lightly, prime if needed, and apply your finish coat for a seamless blend with your body panels.

Will my key fob still work with the keyhole deleted?

Yes. These covers are designed for vehicles using remote entry — the key fob remains your primary unlock method. The physical keyhole becomes purely aesthetic, so this design works best if you already rely on your fob.

What's the best way to attach these without damaging the factory handle?

They mount at the factory attachment points, so use the hardware that originally secured the trim. Test-fit first to confirm alignment, then secure using the factory fastener pattern — no adhesive needed unless you want added security.
